You sound like someone who’s a little envious of the L’European system. I took the liberty and checked some of your previous posts and I think I found the reason to your affection of the “European ways” – we see the world in different colors! When I see red I think of socialism and communism - when you see red you see, uhm? Pink?, Fuchsia?, Grey? (sry, couldn’t resist, hope you know I’m only kiddin’

)
14 pay periods? I assume you’re talking about the 13 pay periods? -
that would be because I have both passports and the only thing that keeps me from living back in the alps are my dogs( not fit to fly long) and my dog sitter ( wife). It seems to me europeans work to live, while americans live to work ( why enjoy life when I can work my butt of to buy the monster home in suburbia ?)
but seriouslyI don't now how Sweden is, but in my other country the add on insurance is cheap and everyone gets 14 pay periods, as in an additional Christmas pay and one additional summer pay. even government workers.
i also don't know anyone here in the USA except in the medical and some technology field that works on their undergraduate study field ( mine history ha,ha,ha like most starbucks baristas)
is their way perfect? hell no, is our way perfect hell no . do i see pink when you see red? probably, and i'm glad for it
i still would like to see more of a European QOL and benefits here for all workers ( not just airline). there you have my 2 pink cents.
