It really is typical in Europe. BUT, there are employers / teams in the US that don't treat people like crap. I promise. Now is a difficult time to switch jobs, but please do consider it in the future! No reason to settle, life is too short to be chained to a computer every day.

I work as a SWE at FAANG-adjacent company in the US, according to workday I'm scheduled to use up 250 hours of time off this year (that's about 6 work-weeks), and we get 10 paid holidays. I take time off in 1-2 week increments, hard to take off 6 weeks all at once. Most of my team takes a similar amount of time off, it's part of the "culture" if you will.

It would be nice if the US had more favorable employee laws (sick time + time off + maternity/paternity leave). Maybe one day...
