obviously some thread about vacation time now...
Crazy Cooter:
In my company, it depends on where you live. I'm in the US, but my comrades in Canada get about twice the holidays as I do.
I think the Italians get the most time off. I've heard that whole country shuts down the month of August.
M3talhead:
I think Belgians get between 4 and 6 weeks a year.

I always thought it depended on who you work for and how many years...

Nope!
- Australia, Min 4 weeks when you start any job.
- Greece - Most majo rbusiness close in August except for tourist places
- UK/Germany/Belgians - 4 - 6 weeks based on years of experience
(I think Belgians only work 4 days a week too)
Only in North American is everyone business business business.. thats it. Elsewhere its like they quality of life first, business second.

I live in the US and, while I am in the "exception to the rule category", I get 30 days paid a year plus sick leave. Sick leave doesn't have a cap on it. You can build up as much as you can I think it's four hours a pay period. Normal vacation has a cap and you can only build up so much, though the number is pretty high. Now, granted, I'm a government worker (easy on the jokes) but, most government employees get the same deal. Military gets the same as well but, it's a lot harder to actually use it when you want (serverd 6 years USN). One more reason gov't employees are hated by all civilians.
