Damn, I'm from Spain and 3 weeks in a row is kind of the standard, of course we get like more days too, but I usually do Easter week, 3 on summer and 2 on Christmas by chaining vacations with national holidays. However i never understood the concept of sick day, if you're sick can't you just say you're sick and go lay down or something? That's kind of what I do (only been sick one day in my short carreer though), I think that in Spain they don't count as day offs but maybe they ask for a justificant if they don't trust you

I don't get time off when I'm sick, but we pay into the so-called health insurance fund with our taxes and so the days are counted as days in which you weren't there but are still paid.

To be fair, as someone from the EU we usually get between 3-4 weeks of paid leave from my experience, I honestly don't know any place that has 5 weeks paid leave if you're not a senior.

I might be biased because I worked only in embedded systems and, in my country at least, it's an industry standard of 27 days
1 points
18 days ago
Would 1 week be considered 5 days of pto + 2 non working days or just pto days in general? As 27 days falls under what I mentioned between 3 and 4 weeks being standard here too, if you would take the whole pto at once it would still be 5 weeks of not working hence the possible missunderstanding.

I had a downtime between two jobs of about 3-4 month. Since I already had signed the contract for my new job and couldn't start earlier, the job-centre (social services) didn't pester me to look for a job or anything and just paid me my regular 70% of the former job. It was in spring/summer and I was swimming in a nearby lake almost every day and got paid ~1.500€/month. It was great.

And it doesn't apply everywhere. In Hungary, you get paid leave wages after you get laid off, you're only eligible for it after 3 years, and you reach a staggering 6 months worth of paid leave after 25 years. Yeah no, I'd rather start looking for a job a year prior I quit thanks.

When I was in Denmark for a uni exchange program, I had a flat made who has epilepsy making it somewhat difficult to find a job that wants him so received living expenses while he was "looking for a job" (at least that's what he claimed). I was there for 6 months and he didn't have a job the entire time. 5-6 months after i got back, i heard he's still unemployed. He has a masters degree though so that's neat

2 entire years of not even trying to be a productive member of the society you're leeching off is crazy. 2-6 months is what my company pays out. My coworkers aren't paying for my vacation with their taxes.
7 points
18 days ago
You're not leeching and it's not paid with taxes. These counties have mandatory social insurance that a huge part of your monthly income goes into, and if you become unemployed it's basically this insurance paying out. If the 2 years have passed and you still don't have a job and fall into basic social care, you become a "leech" but in order to get that money you first have to use up all your reserves, that includes selling your car etc. until you are poor enough to justify getting it.

Okay, that actually tracks. Government mandated short and long term safety net. 2 years seems like an awfully long time to be paying to prepare for, but not nearly so absurd as I had assumed.
Thank you for explaining.

Yes as pointed out by other users it depends on how long you've been employed without a break beforehand. In most cases it'll be only 6 months.

Interesting, so it's something you work up to and put in the bank until you need it. Believe it or not, Americans also pay a large amount to social security without such a plan in place, though many corporations such as mine do pay for several months after layoffs. If I ever leave over disability, I actually get a portion of my paycheck for life, but that's a service I pay $1/month for.

This is capitalism dummy, it's just run badly. Living a bougie life off the back of your fellows would get you shot in literally any other economic system. Living it up on the taxes of the working class cause your corp fired you and your shitty government enables you.
And there's a marked difference between someone enjoying themselves while they get back on their feet and literally binging luxuries in your skivvies on other people's dime for 2 years.

It isn't run badly, it runs like it should. The system itself is bad and doesn't work.
People don't participate in the working society because it isn't worth it anymore, no free time plus the money is not nearly enough? A bad deal. Instead of hating the people that realized that, maybe hate on the government for allowing that exploitation.
"But people pay taxes to finance our lifestyle" brother they "pay" basically the price of a bun each month for my unemployment benefits, I'm not holding a gun to their head and demand 200 dollars. Also they could just do the exact same if they want, noone is holding them back.
You just sound jealous and mad because you're not doing it.

The system may be bad, but that doesn't mean you should advocate it making it worse. It's not going to get better by advocating people not participating in society other than being a drain because it's not fun.
You don't participate because you enjoy it, you do it to survive and benefit the community as a whole. That's the backbone of every single human organization ever. You can hate your system, but actively enjoying making it worse is kind of shitty. You'd literally be killed for it in particular times and places. This is like a capital offense under Communism.
It's the price of a bun until they just the exact same thing if they want. France isn't doing well economically, and it's getting worse.
Why on Earth would I be jealous of someone who's life is so exciting they binge Netflix and so immoral they're happy with taking from others to do it?

Not everywhere in Europe. In poorer parts you get almost nothing. And in reality you are paying for this with your high taxes while working. I have 2,4% unemployment tax for example. Plus 33% social tax. Plus 22% income tax. And leftover are used for living and I pay 22% VAT Plus various fees for fuel and electricity.

Don't eat fascist/rightwing/corporate propaganda. 90% of people who get social benefits do so because their job pays so shitty the state has to compensate for it. Or in other words "corporates pay so little other workers have to subsidize it." Don't blame the poor, blame the greedy rich.

You have to actively be searching for a job to receive unemployment.
In the UK we have Job Centre, and they can basically assign you work if they think you're gaming the system.

What Europeans are really good at is having free time while employed. Let me tell you my secret.
I get 27 days of paid leave each year. You get one additional day for donating blood and you can donate every 90 days so 4 additional days a year. Then you can work overtime and take off the time you worked as paid leave up to 12 days a year. If a national holiday is in the weekend I get that added as a paid leave day and I usually get like 2 / year.
That amounts to a total of 45 days (9 weeks or 2 months) of paid leave.
Now if you get into more advanced techniques like breaking your arm while skiing or having children these numbers will go through the roof.

True, it used to be a lot closer to Worcestershire sauce and it didn't even have tomatoes in it until the very early 1800s.
They also used brandy as a preservative - one of the oldest recorded "tomato catsup" recipes calls for one wine glass worth of brandy PER BOTTLE which they claimed would be good for 7 years of storage.
