    The fact that’s also a thing blows my mind.

    We don’t have that option here. Between the holidays and things like special leave, I’ve never been not paid for taking time off.

    You can take a years unpaid career break which is kinda cool as your job is guaranteed when you return.

      Yeah it’s pretty shit. Since some places they only offer 1 or 2 weeks vacation a year if you want a longer one you end up needing to take the unpaid time off.

        I don’t even know how anyone copes with that. I get 30 days plus public holidays.
