- petre 4y agoSAP. But you wouldn't want to work with SAP anyway. Death by a thousand cuts.
- pjmlp 4y agoPay and benefits are good, 40 h/w + extra when overtime happens, 30 day vacation,....
- martin8412 4y agoThat's the default for everyone working in Europe
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIt's not. Most jobs in most countries get less than 30 days vacation. Germany's German speaking neighbors it's 25 days.
- rolisz 4y agoEurope is composed of a lot of countries, which all have different laws. In Romania, minimum vacation days are 20 days and very few companies give more than that, except maybe for seniority.
- PicassoCTs 4y agoIs it really though? I ve been going around european companies and its all work till you drop 80h culture and no holiday, cause we need a guy on standbye. That stuff only ever exists on paper.
- ahartmetz 4y agoWhich companies in which countries? I'm in Germany and I have never ever seen or (from friends and acquaintances) heard of vacations not taken due to pressure from the employer. It's about as common as an employer arbitrarily deciding to transfer less than the agreed amount of salary at the end of the month - maybe some very dubious employers have done it at some point, but it's not something to worry about. What is fairly common is employers reminding employees to take their vacation days before they expire. Vacation days from year n expire in April or so of year n+1. That is intended to prevent postponing vacations to never (maybe until switching jobs).
- PicassoCTs 4y agoIm in germany, and the pressure is there. Old employer at least gave vacations, but shifted them as needed. New employer basically denies vacations categorically, cause nobody else can take care of the system. All this talk about labour laws etc. its like people hallucinating, cause in my world this just aint real.

- pjmlp 4y agoWhich countries, I have worked in several European countries, and none of them were that bad. That looks like a case that needs to be reported to work inspection authorities.
- pjmlp 4y agoNope, it is common in central and northern Europe, in other countries that would be part of extra package on top of what the local law requires.
- rad_gruchalski 4y agoIn Germany it is: a) 24 days vacation for 6 day working week, and b) 20 days for 5 day working week. That’s a minimum but there are also 11 days statutory national holidays in Germany (some Bundesländern have 12). The end result is a minimum of 31 paid out of work days if your work week is 5 days.
- hef19898 4y agoThe alternative being? Another ERP system that does the same thing dressed up differently. Cobsidering how many comoanies world wide run SAP, it is fair to say that a true exonomic backbone software comes from Germany. If you take away SAP over night, we are all in a derp recession. If you you take away Facebook overbight, what would happen? Or Amazon, excluding AWS of course?
