    In my country in Europe, I’ve never seen anything less than 5 weeks paid leave, but I believe 4 weeks is minimum required by law. Oh, plus holidays. In fact, you get paid extra during vacation as a sentiment to actually take that rest and recover some strength. Burnout is a big issue in today’s society so the vacation is a national investment.

    2 weeks vacation for the whole year isn’t enough. Not nearly. 😔

      In Canada you only get 4 weeks after you have worked for the same company/organization for ten years. You only get 3 weeks after 5 years.

      Get a new job after 8 years? Start all over with 2 weeks vacation.
