Okay. I’m all for time off, but this strikes me as a terrible way to encourage investment in jobs and employment. Let’s not pretend this level of making it really expensive to employ someone in France doesn’t come at a cost. The numbers show that capital prefers to invest elsewhere - especially in the US, and this video hints at one of many reasons.

They get more done than we do north america with a joke of 2 weeks off, even workers in cambodia and thailand get more than we do. Their workers have incentives to work efficiently because they have something to look forward to. Time to enjoy activities they can enjoy while they are still alive and healthy. Meanwhile in places with poor time off, workers literally stop caring and become less efficient. Why should they care? They dont get benefits from working hard. Just my opinion. Tell me, would you work hard if all you got as a reward was more work?

I need this too. Too many long projects on my life.

Je travail au Canada maintenant avec 2 semaines de vacances j’en ai même pas besoin. Car c’est les vacances toute l’année tellement le rythme est tranquille. En France avec la pression et la cadence t’en a souvent besoin de tes 5 semaines.

But many canadians are not very productive. Cant imagine why. So whats the harm in giving them a positive incentive to work more efficiently instead of wasting everyone's time? We are only healthy for so long. Just my opinion.

In Brazil we are Also blessed with 30 days vacation and we also have the "Du jour" pont, If a public or catolic Holiday Falls on thursday we have the Friday off (mainly in schools and government institutions/office). If It Falls on tuesday sometimes we can have the monday off too! Its great working for government here, as a federal worker I also have 3 paid months off each 5 years worked.

I will move to France. First day at work I get holiday.

You sure? You only get 2 weeks and many canadians are not very productive. They dont really get enough time off for a real vacation, so they dont benefit from being more efficient. Instead they miss out on lots of activities they can do when healthy by just working slower. Makes zero sense to me. Why bother pretending to work so one can get a pretend vacation that leaved barely any time to do anything? Just my opinion.

Taking breaks from your work life is something necessary, refreshing AND beneficial to your productivity at work. What I can't understand is the obsession of Europeans with holidays in far-flung locations... it's like they consider themselves poor if they can't travel outside of their country once a year for holidays. This is not how most of the world lives.

False for France, it is 25 days at minimum, and it is what most people have.

Still in France people are constantly complaining they work so much 😂 in fact people here complain about everything and anything.

The French did what they needed to set themselves up. The US f itself when it decided to leave benefits to individual employers. Sad to say, this was due to the unions (and of course, racism). Any American ever wonder why jobs in the private sector tends to have great benefits? Well, thats where most white workers were employed and you know they weren't about to let the government push equality on them. Yeah, y'all, we nearly had a system where the government would have mandated those things. Instead, cross your fingers and hope your job offers it. I have thankfully worked for employers who offered paid time off. My first employer was the only one that only had two weeks. Since, ive never had a job that didn't offer at least 4 weeks off, 10 days sick, and all the national holidays. I didn't even know elections day was a holiday until my current job.

Nothing real to look forward to, so why bother being efficient. Why bother risking health just to get more work. We are only young and healthy once. Just my opinion.

5 week its not enough loll

Il se demande après pourquoi ça mal

They should thank their colonies where the people work and give their resources for this extravaganza?

Every company I have worked for in the US have had paid vacations. And they all set it up about the same. The older you are the more vacation you get. Plus all the federal holidays. Personally, I don’t feel I need more vacation. My company, on top of all the federal and state holidays, gives us, on average of 3.5 weeks per employee per year. If you are older you get around 6.5 weeks. In fact, companies without paid vacation in their benefit package have a really hard time retaining employees.

There are about 11 public holidays per year. However if the holiday falls on a Thursday, you still have to go to work on Friday. If you want to take off the Friday, you have to use one of your vacation days. Also, it depends on where you work. if you work in a store, the store is open on holidays and you can end up working all through Christmas etc...
