bapyou ::: Favorites That month or so off that Europeans enjoy, allows them to actually enjoy life while they are physically and mentally at their peak. In America, what do we get? We work and dream of enjoying a retirement; retirement at a time of life when most of us are in no shape to really enjoy life! Ask the average American CEO if his workers should actually enjoy life while they can, and you'll probably get a look that tells you you are speaking like an insane person. 07-06-04 15:45:07 _____________________________________________________
mikemessedup ::: Favorites Is that really true about America? I don't work yet, but my sister gets 6 weeks paid annual leave, plus 7 public holidays a year, and thats normal here. I think you have to get 2 days per month paid leave by law. I find it hard to believe a country like the USA doesen't have basic employment laws like that. Really? 07-06-21 16:38:04 _____________________________________________________
bapyou ::: Favorites Well <u>mike</u>, in what country does your sister work? There are paid holidays for some, perhaps most, Americans, but 6 weeks of paid "annual leave" (called "vacation" in the U.S.) is EXTREMELY rare, if in fact, it exists at all. I can't recall anyone I've known who has EVER had 6 weeks vacation time. Certainly not an employee. I've heard of 3 week vacations, but that is EXTREMLY rare. Usually, with a GOOD company, two weeks is tops; sometimes only 1. 07-06-21 18:56:28 _____________________________________________________
bapyou ::: Favorites <u>mike</u>: The laws in America favor employers over employees, & the favor has tipped toward employers ever more over the past twenty years. 07-06-21 18:56:58 _____________________________________________________
06solareclipse ::: Favorites Hi Martek, I work at a weather office in Switzland as a software developer. I'm not rich at all. Luckily watching the sky is still tax free :-) However, flights are expensive, gas price and motel rates climbed a lot. I would love to go to the US for storm chasing next year and also observing the total solar eclipse 2008 in Siberia, but it will be a hard time for me to put all the money aside for these trips. And yes, I have about 4 weeks paid vacation time a year. That's common in Europe. 07-06-22 13:24:22 _____________________________________________________
mikemessedup ::: Favorites We live in Ireland. I don't understand how americans put up with that. It seems victorian to me. Don't you have trade unions. Do you even have a 39 hour week or maternity leave? Women get 3 months paid maternity leave by law here. You guys need to wise up! 07-06-22 17:57:17 _____________________________________________________

mikemessedup ::: Favorites Sorry I hijacked your video comments m8. I do like your vids, I'm subscribing :D 07-06-22 17:58:25 _____________________________________________________
bapyou ::: Favorites <u>mike</u>: Many companies allow maternity leave now, but that is a relatively recent policy development (within last 10-15 years). The 40 hour work week has been standard for many decades now, that is true. For an hourly wage worker, most companies pay 1.5X the hourly wage for each hour worked over 40 hrs in a week, & yes, America does have trade unions but, since the 1980s Reagan administration, unions have become less & less powerful, while employers have been allowed all sorts of benefits. 07-06-22 18:49:10 _____________________________________________________
