> In most EU countries it is mandatory minimum to give 4 paid weeks off per year, otherwise the company is breaking the law.

Make that five weeks for France plus up to 11 days of public holidays. That's a minimum too, we have a whole bunch of additional stuff that can stack on top of that, so many I can't even make a complete list from memory.

One of the many reasons my current s&p500 company will no longer actively hire in France other than to support specific big sales

As per the saying: "The French copy no one and nobody copies the French". If we were carbon copies of the British or the Americans, life on Earth would be just a little bit more boring.

We're not better or worse, we're just different. Deal with it or leave us be.

Sounds like the solution is pushing for the same type of legal minimums everywhere else, then ;)
