I bet Google's hours are much longer.

Even Amazon employees do pretty well, getting 2 weeks paid time off + 1 week of "personal days" (de facto vacation days) in year 1, then that goes up to 3 weeks PTO + 1 week of personal days starting year 2 IIRC.
They are working at a US company, but at least they are still paying UK taxes and contributing to the UK economy.
if you work 5 days/week ("full time") that's 5.6*5 == 28 days paid holiday, guaranteed by law
this includes people stacking shevles in supermarkets, not just people with market power working for Google and Amazon
Ah, the usual "I do it because I want to do it, there's just so much work to do and it's not going away, you know how it is in this position, you can't never really disconnect"
