10 days is the legal minimum in Canada and most companies don't offer more than that unless you have lots of experience. My company caps at 15 days. So I say this is more of a Canada work culture problem than an LMG problem

Bro what the fuck. The legal minimum in Belgium is 20 days, and you also get 10 national holidays. 30+ days (not including those national holidays) isn’t exceptional. I can’t imagine only getting 10 days.

I can imagine it.

Here in Belgium, first year of working and working 38 hours: 0 holidays except national holidays 😂

But yeah outside europe, holidays are abysmal. India, maylaysia, and China are even worse than the Americas in many cases as far as holiday and conditions.

Same here, most collective labour agreements offer ~25. Also, sick days aren't a thing.

Really? I've had friends in Canada who I used to vacation with, and none of them only had 2 weeks or 3 weeks as seniors.

Me too. I think they have an actual HR team now that isn't just Yvonne.
