I had 6 months off. First 6 weeks full pay and the remaining I think was £125 per week

I took 2 week's paternity leave and was paid £125 a week. Not great. You're better off going to Denmark or Sweden. Full pay for 6 months I think. Paternity good too ;)

Don't know, but it's been my experience if you move as an expat you don't get the same policy as those from the country (if you move with a USA company). Something to ask if you're considering moving. Canada is a full year off but any USA expat that moved with my company had 13 weeks afforded to USA employees.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
