Notice that there's only ONE country in the entire list that does not
have a required minimum vacation period. No wonder so many of us are
overworked and overstressed! I remember starting at a new job, and not
being able to take any paid vacation time for over a year -- it ended up
being close to two years between when I was actually able to take
vacation.
At least where I'm at now, I have a great manager and we get to
(unofficially) take comp time when we've had to work extra hours. And
in a few months, I'll be up to three weeks of vacation!! Woohoo!!
I do like the setup some EU countries have where you and/or your
employer pay into a gov't-managed "holiday account," so no matter where
you work, there is money there for you to get paid when you take your
holiday.
