Working in Amsterdam
I just love reading about how other countries get more time off from work than we do here in the States. And Amsterdam is no exception to this.
I just read that in Amsterdam, employees 21 to 35 vacation days a year! A year! Can you imagine! Here in the States you are lucky if you get a week off each year. I also read that Dutch employees are reluctant to work overtime.
In my last job, I was actually fired for not spending more time at work. I was hired for a full-time 40 hour week position and I worked about 50 hours a week. And they did not feel that was enough dedication to the company! Clearly that would not have happened in Amsterdam.
