| Sep 14, 2010 at 18:45 | comment | added | LoveMeSomeCode | @Kyraleesa I hear that. I used to work at a place that gave you 2 and acted like you were lazy if you used it all. They wouldn't roll it over to the following year, and they would even have 'blackout' dates in november and december because they knew IN ADVANCE that they would mismanage things to the point of being way behind. I'm constantly tempted to move to Europe. | |

Most professionals get more holidays - 25 days + bank holidays is typical, 30 days quite common once you've got experience. The productivity benefits are high, with well rested, non-resentful employees. | |
