Pretty sure a month or two of vacation is common in the EU.

It's not anywhere I lived, not even close.

Now I have 25 days per year with up to 40 is the max I've seen for places with a lot of overtime.

Mid twenties to early thirties is the average vacation days per year people in the EU get. The rest are fringe outliers.

Only those aren't benefits, they're basic rights protected by law.

Are they, though? The legal minimum in most EU states is just 20 work days which isn’t even a full month.
