I also moved to the Netherlands recently (but from Germany) and their holiday schedule feels really weird to me. You get a lot from April to June and then nothing until Christmas. They should've spaced that out better.

You do know that most public holidays are based on christian events right? Spacing those out is only possible if we separate those days from religion.

The statuary minimum holiday entitlement of 20 days (most employers give 25+) can be used freely.

Heh, even here in the home of Christianity we have multiple secular holidays: liberation day, workers' day, republic day, ferragosto ...

Cool thing is, you can even make up holidays if you want!
