> What’s mind-boggling to me is that Europeans can’t help but continue to make these smug comments, when your minimums are usually either 4 or 5 weeks, and the average isn’t much more.

The minimums of 4-5 weeks of vacation, plus far more mandatory sick leave than in the US -- usually more paid sick leave than Americans are guaranteed as job-protected, unpaid leave -- is vastly more than American workers get. Not even close.

And then we can talk about paternity/maternity leave and associated support, and piles of other things.

Given the demographics of the average tech worker - few of those benefits are things they will take advantage of. Cash is far more preferable for young people without children and major illnesses.
