Thank you. You just made my day.

4 weeks is still not on par with other civilised countries. Living here in the UK now, 5 weeks is standard. When I was in the Netherlands I was getting six.

It was Castlevania that did this to me.

Do it! Best decision I ever made.

Unless by “overseas” you mean “to the US of some other oppressive country”. In that case maybe don’t do it.

There are unions that operate outside of trades too. CWU here in the UK for example. As a software engineer, I joined UTAW, a branch of CWU just a few weeks ago.
