The working culture and laws between Bulgaria and Denmark are drastically different. It is absurd to talk about Denmark as if it were universal EU law. What you are experiencing is particular to Denmark. It is Danish law and work culture you are benefitting from.

EU laws are mostly scynchronized. Bulgaria has 1 month guaranteed minimum, IT companies typically give 3 as well.

The article is specifically not about IT jobs.

Also 3 months of paid time off seems totally unbelievable.

That the EU laws are synchronized is somewhat irrelevant. Most of this isn't about laws, but what companies are offering.

> seems totally unbelievable.

Had it multiple times, AMA. Actually more in real life, once I was laid off start of the calendar month, which I was not expected to work off either. This is regular employees, top managers get 6 months. US engineers thinking they live the top life, not knowing how exploited they are.

Do you have a shred of evidence? How does a company function with managers only there 50% if the time.

50% of the time? Maybe misunderstood, this was about resignation/notice period. You have to be employed 3-6 months to get employment protection. Paid off time is around 25-30 days everywhere.

I think they are referring to notice period for being laid off and not time off per year.
