That seems excessive, but it really depends on the base salary -- if the bonus is expected, it's basically a part of the worker's salary rather than an excess.

Average vacation time is 26 WORKING DAYS, fully paid.

Boo f**king hoo. That's approximately normal in many countries outside of Dumberica, including Australia and the better run European states (Germany, Switzerland). It's the US that's abnormal in this respect, bordering on criminal.

Everyone above the age of 21 starting to work is allowed to go on vacation only 4 weeks after they have started the job. The way how the pension system is working: They take average earnings for the last 5 years of your working life and this is what you get for your pension....

Ding, ding, ding! That's the problem. Government guaranteed pensions at a comparatively young age. But please don't throw the good things (civilized amount of vaca time) and neutral things (a large part of the salary is paid at the end of the year) out with the bad.
