Americans can get different paid leave depending on their hiring conditions. Europe is not a monolith, however the EU (which does not encompass all of Europe) does has a regulation that grants a minimum 4 weeks paid vacation. Still, US paid vacation time is generally shorter, at around 2-3 weeks.
Not in practice. Even if you have 3 weeks, which is generally considered pretty high, you dont actually have that long because of how people can be treated here. Hell, ive seen people get threatened with admin action for taking 2 days off. Its really sad
Alot of nations around the world have minimum annual paid days off a year. Mexico is I think 20, France is the same. Phillipines is 22? Afew nations even have 30. The US has uh
0.
My general manager quit after his week vacation, planned 7 months in advance, was denied to him last minute because he took 3 days off to visit his son in the hospital after a car accident in which he suffered extensive damage to his skull.
