Brazil is a much place to be an employee than the USA. This needs to be known. Hit me up with requests for source if you would like. They will be in Portuguese.

Brazil, also is a much better place to be a employee when it comes to labor laws: maternity leave (120 days paid by employer) if you give birth or adopt; miscarriage (14 paid days off); 30 days of vacation after working 12 months + 1/3 of the monthly payment that needs to paid before the vacation period starts (yes, you get paid to go on vacation + 1/3 the month salary extra pay before you go on vacation), 11 (eleven) paid holidays, bereavement (I’m not sure but from what I recall it’s 3 paid days); you can also take 1-3 years off work (without pay) and come back to work (a sabbatical of sorts) with no (official/legal) consequences.

you can also take 1-3 years off work (without pay) and come back to work (a sabbatical of sorts) with no (official/legal) consequences.

I’m not sure about sick days.

During the World Cup, not an official holiday, but nobody is expected to work on the days that the Brazilian team is playing, unless you’re a bus driver, or in health care ( or other essential worker), even banks will be closed.

If you make decent money, Brazil might be one of the true “workers paradises.”

Lol I forgot: people in the formal economy also gets a 13th monthly salary that is paid before Christmas. If you worked the previous 12 months, it’s a full salary (the 13th salary of the year). If you worked only 6 (six) months in the previous year, you get one half month salary – you get the idea of proportionality.
