In Reply To: I personally think taking one month off a year is better than what we've got going on in the states. It would make work so much more productive having 30 days of vacation to look forward to. Plus, once you return from a vacation, you'd feel so much more relaxed. Stress level would go down tremendously. You'd feel refreshed and ready get back into the swing of things. One week - and even two week - vacations go by too quickly. Next thing you know, you're back in the office and hating it. The only bad thing about the European deal is that everyone takes the SAME month off. If you spread that out through the year, it would work out fine.
Message: Of course we're all for more vacation time. 2 weeks is the shaft, but there are some good companies out there that start you out at 3 or even 4. Definitely a question to ask with a job offer, I think.
