No vacation days in the first 12 months. Then 2 weeks of vacation per year, three weeks after 5 years of consecutive employment.

Damn, I’m happy to live and work in Europe right now, assuming that these are comparable numbers across the North American job landscape.

“Linus Media Group believes that vacation is a necessary opportunity for people to relax, refresh and recharge.” LMAO

The rules on sick leave look quite awful as well.

Some people have pointed out, that this seems to be a normal vacation policy within Canada. Still a shitty policy, but I wouldn’t put the majority blame on LMG for this specific issue.

They’re entirely to blame for it at LMG.

I highly doubt Canada has a law against doing more than the bare legal minimum.

Why not blame Canada for their shitty laws? If you had a business, you might just be doing the same

This is the minimum is Canada, but 3-4 week is more common in many industries. So if they could give less, they probably would.
