Then I'd be an E.U. citizen? Fuck yeah! Give me two months of vacation!

My condolences, but Florida immediately voted for Flexit

Watch them join the british commonwealth to help them cope with the decision

Sweden here we only get 5 weeks vacay. 480 days parental leave though.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

People in America and Japan… “‘only’ 5 weeks?!”

[-] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

So a Mormon couple could get a paycheck without ever working for 30 years?

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You generally (it depends by country) don't get paid anymore between 6 and 12 months. But you still have a job. So when they get tired of using her womb like clown car, they could back to work. Also is usually (again varies by country) shared parental leave. So between both parents up to the maximum allowance.

That’s a good point, but for Sweden, it is indeed 480 paid days. It’s a government calculation related to your income and there is a point (after 390 days) where it drops to the minimum payout, but it is still paid leave.

There are also government-mandated options in Sweden to receive a slightly lower pay in exchange for working fewer hours. I don’t have the exact details here, but it’s something like 75% pay for 75% hours.

Pretty incredible coverage for new parents in that specific country.

This article has a great summary for a lot of European countries’ parental leave laws. And yeah, quite a few are less than a year of paid leave:

Don't forget we don't have a limited amount of days were allowed to be sick either.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

So, 5 weeks more than we get! That sounds amazing!

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to 'unlimited' this year. So far I've taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.

I haven't used any sick days but they're unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.

15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My state now has mandatory parental leave, about a year after me and my wife had decided that we didn't want more kids. Oh well. At least people in the future will benefit.

[-] Evilsmiley@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

At least youre not the type to try to stop something because you missed the window on benefitting from it

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Even if I were it wouldn't apply in this case. Having a society with programs like this in place helps everyone even indirectly. I am fine with greed as long as it goes beyond basic right in front of you.

We all benefit from a better world. Sure some more than others but all at least some.

[-] Rud_1UP@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We don't have 2 months vacation..

[-] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Or hyperbole, apparently :(

Four weeks, two months, whatever, they're both still infinitely more than Americans are guaranteed, which is zero.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

reeeeeee you hate America!!!!!!!!!
