  • There are possibilities of shitty company’s behaviour though: in case of said “envelope” salary, you still get some part of it officially (like minimum wage), so if the place is shitty enough, they can pay you only the official part, so you have a “not-so-paid” vacation. Or they come up with some reasons to not sign your vacation: “why July? Look at the schedule and better take February! We’re family and family needs you now!”
    It’s not everywhere like that - usually low-skill and/or blue-collar stuff. But I encountered that in IT when I was starting out (and didn’t have much choise with tetail jobs in my cv)


  • I’m sorry, I felt like bragging, but I really don’t know what to do with all that time, and one of the reasons is that I tend to spend money on vacations, and I don’t like to spend money, I like to save.
    But really, it’s not Denmark or Sweden that good, it’s US laws are bad. Ok, in Denmark I have 5 weeks by law and one more from my company (which is a usual perk). But I moved there from Russia, where the working culture sucks (overtime, envelope salary, etc), and overal situation with any human rights is not that funny, but people still have 28 calendar day paid vacation.
