They have the same mandated 4 weeks paid vacation as the rest of the EU. National holidays seems to be 11, which is similar to germany.

I do have the impression of france workers going on a strike a lot though, maybe thats what you mean. If you are from the us, i can see how 4 weeks vacation can seem like a lot, you dont have the benefit of having decent employee protections

No there’s more to it than that. We have 3 weeks of vacation here in the U.S. and don’t have any problems getting things done.

The US has no federal requirement to pay for unworked hours, be they sick or holiday time off work. This is why your people are depressed and seeking guidance from opiods and fascists.

“Federal” is the weasel word here. All states have their own requirements, including sick time, holiday time, and how long you can go without a break. Also, I’ve never seen an employer not offer PTO. Even your local McDonalds has paid vacation for full-time employees.

While I wish it was codified into federal law, your implication that nobody has vacation time in the US is patently false.

There’s no federal requirement, yet I still get 3 weeks vacation time, 5 personal days,a week of sick time, and an abundance of WFH. Somehow we manage a good work life balance and still beat out the French in productivity. We’re not even superstar corporate drones. Our office is mostly Gen Z at this point who have no qualms with actually utilizing our time off like some of the older generations.
