- johnnyanmac 2y agoEU will still crunch, but they have much better holiday scheduling. I was always jealous at Unity on how the EU branches would take an entire month vacation as mandated by their national law. Much harder to layoff but not impossible. EU's been hit a bit by the last year and a half as well. Japan is on a whole other level of "crunch" however. Not in the case that they rush last minute (but it's not unheard of, far from it), but in that the regular is 60 hours a week, along with any "workplace activities" that take place after work. They will almost never have layoffs in the tradiional sense due to their labor laws, but they have kind (very big severance) and creative (isolate you from the team to do useless busywork) ways to make people quit if pushed to that point.
