Oh that’s interesting. So brings it down to the low 30s like much of the rest of Europe.

I did use to work somewhere that measured it in hours. So I was entitled to 240 hours. I think it was too make it easier to calculate pro rata holiday for part time staff.
Where I am now I do have the option to take a half day if I want to. Can be nice on a Friday, get to leave before lunch especially if I’m working from home.
I’m not understanding what you’re saying.
Yeah, UK is pretty shit when you compare it to our European neighbours. Statutory sick pay is a joke too (like £90 a week) and maternity (90% of your pay for 6 weeks and drops right down to “187.18 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks” for only 33 weeks. It’s because we keep electing right wing parties. :(
It’ll vary country to country. In the UK (I know we’re not in anymore) it’s 28 days. France is 30, Italy 32, Estonia 40. I’m not sure if there’s any with less than the UK, as we’ve probably got the closest work culture to the US.

Until one bad weather summer means you can’t gather enough food to see you through the winter.
So if you’re in the US your probably in your 20s, if you’re European late 40s early 50s.
Lol I came here after the third party apps thing. Sadly the other place is still better for stuff like photography imo just because it’s that much more active.
A lot of vintage digital gear. Are you over on the other place too?

Fair, didn’t really study the list in that much detail.
With regards to work culture since Thatcher we’ve definitely been on a path that brings us closer to the US. Unions have become extremely weakened and it’s almost a dirty word. We keep voting for governments that want to curtail workers rights. The present government is an exception after almost a decade and a half, and it looks very much like it’ll be back to business and usual (probably with a jackboot on the accelerator) after the next GE.
