> Previously we earned 2 to 4 weeks depending on seniority.

Yikes. You really were expected to do 1900h+ per year previously and the current situation got even worse?

2 to 4 weeks isn’t normal?

2 to 4 weeks is not normal.

2-4 weeks seems pretty normal

I have 7 weeks plus bank holidays… but I am not in the US (mandatory days… you are obligated to take them all)

Sounds like a nice balance! You've got a great job :)

It sounds more like a nice country to me.

This! Vive la France!

What if someone isn’t a good worker? What is the procedure for getting rid of them?

You fire them… it’s harder than in other places put you can still do it. You just need a valid reason! I had at least a couple of colleagues other the years being fired! At least employees are not victims of the employer every whim! And this is a good thing!

Cool, thank you!

Is this just in your company or statutory somewhere?

Country law state 30 days for my kind of contract… but since I work more than your normal contract (in France the work week is 35h a week whilst I work 37h) I get extra 5 days. On top of that I have 5 days for sick children and unlimited sick days.
