    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

          Because Linus controls LMG, he can’t change the laws of Canada but he can offer more than he is.

          And no I wouldn’t. If I owned a business, I wouldn’t because I’d have made it a worker run co-op. Not everyone is a greedy capitalist parasite.

            There’s a reason the absolutely majority of businesses isn’t run like that, and it’s not because all people suck.

            Two reasons, actually.

            1. These people (who do not suck) often don’t really have what it takes to run a successful business. It’s a hard endeavor, especially in the beginning, and often if you don’t do the bare minimum, you die.

            2. As you grow, having 10 clashing opinions is a paralyzing disaster for a company. Solution is to have a CEO/owner whatever, one voice to rule, but at that point, is it really that co-op you dream about?

      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.
