Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.

American here. I work for a company that gives 5 weeks per year. It's great. I can take a 1-2 week vacation in the summer and various days and weeks off throughout the year. It doesn't hurt that my boss is great and almost never says no to time off. "Hey, this project is draining. I could really use a week off for mental recovery. It looks like nobody is off next week." "Go for it."

It's possible, fellow Americans. Unions are the way.
