Ya I get off on the 4th of July and Christmas. That's it. But they give 2 weeks of floating holidays in lieu of that, 3 weeks PTO and 2 weeks of sick time per year. That's a great setup in my industry and I attribute it to them being from the Netherlands. I also work 12 hr shifts and anything beyond 8 is OT, which is a choice by them, because I think it's only required in California and I'm not there. The last company I worked for was based out of Cali, did not have that OT policy, and only 2 weeks PTO and 1 week sick time. So I'm only speaking anecdotally but from what I've seen, European companies take better care of their people, even when not legally mandated
