This guy could be anybody in the EU
I mean... I came here to say that you can go after the guy for being a CEO, but taking a month off is not particularly controversial over here. If anything, when I talk to a US business owner, which I sometimes do, hearing about how they are constantly working is normally more of a red flag than the opposite.
Even here in the EU not everyone gets a month off.
Of those who do, not all can take a month as a continuous vacation.
Of those who do, not all can afford to go to Paris.
Of those who do, not all can afford to stay in Paris for a month.
It's about the nonchalance these CEOs spew their shit with.
UK here (so not EU but this isn't something that's changed since we were) that's not really true, most companies would raise an eyebrow if you want to take that much of your holiday in one go. Plus it would leave you working like an American for the rest of the year.
Really? So you’re offering to pay for my trip there, did I get that right?

Anybody in the EU is rich when a lot of people can’t really afford to eat out once a month since they get paid barely above the absolute minimum to maintain a living while in Germany for example 2 families own more than half the population combined. Only because Paris is near and we get paid vacation doesn’t mean we actually have more money to enjoy life per se. And Paris is expensive.
