People in Europe blabbering on about those idiot Americans is exactly like Americans blabbering on about how no one else is "free" like they are. Just a coping method either way.

Well where I live 8 hours a day 40 at week is the normal. More means that you gave to get over payed a lot more than the first 8 so no employer wants that.  

Plus every real job have 22 days off/year (that you pick the days) medical and pension is mandatory. 

My new job have 2-2,5 months off but I do not pick the days.
1-2 years maternity leave. 

This is true for every EU country. England decided to go BREXIT, and follow the US in that. Let's see how they doing.
