My prior gig, all of our EU people took like 3-4 weeks off at a time. Probably industry-related?
in some sectors, like construction, they just all have to take summer holiday together. That's usually like 2 consecutive weeks.
Most sectors do not tho. Depending on the sector and the specific job, they just set an email autoreply: hi, i'm chilling by the pool rn, if it's urgent ask colleague x who is a bit informed about what i normally do and they should be able to help you, (we'll clean up the mess when i'm back)
This is cool info and fills in some gaps I had. Thank you!
Could also be confusing to some as I remember a co-worker (American BTW) that he thought Sweden was part of the EU and that was the reason why the whole country would go on vacation on the month of July for the entirety of the month.
Frankly I think the EU should name itself the United States of Eurasia and just be America 2 But This Time More European but then I also use inches so wtf do I know.
You guys have a lot of countries.
less than you guys have states.
Yes but they're all America (uh... In theory) so we can all just pretend it's one which is good, because a lot of us can't identify every US state on a blank map.
