I took 4 weeks off to travel once, and I had to start the approval process a year in advance!

Are you hiring

You didn't have to give up a shotgun to get it did you!?

I'm sure there are a few jobs out there for where I work

Just come to Finland. 4 vacation weeks is what you get legally after working a full year, and the collective agreement may get you more. After first year it's usually 5 weeks - 4 in the summer, 1 in winter. Every year, not just every once in a while.

In some places you can also swap one benefit for 50% more vacation... Which makes some have close to 8 weeks vacation.

Wow, I had almost 4 weeks vacation after I worked for 10 years but even then I wasn't allowed to take more than a week off at a time

Well, I emailed them, and the director said yes without reading how long it was for, just that it wasn't until next year. So I got the standard response to just go file it with HR closer to the date.

So I went on my merry way because I had it in writing

Here having at least 2 consecutive weeks is something you can't give up even if you want to. The rest you can take in pieces, but it's common to be 4 weeks off in a row.

We think yearly vacations are essential. July is a quiet month in many places.

The hardest part may be to get employed. Too many employers have the idiotic tendency to require fluent local language... Even if there's no real need for it.
