I only got 7 a year and I live in Europe...

That's 7 more than most Americans get

No but jokes aside where are you from so I don't move there

It looks like the average is 11 PTO days a year according to Forbes, with nearly a third of employees getting zero. I myself get 24 days a year with it going up to 29 in about a year. That said I'm terrified of being effed over by layoffs so I've been hoarding them like a dragon for the payout, which is arguably way way worse than having a nice federal minimum of PTO days.

Just make sure you actually do get a payout, had a friend screwed over by that recently.

Netherlands. Fuck turkey lmao. The only thing turkeys are good for is being eaten during Thanksgiving.

Well either your employer was acting illegally or you were only working a few hours per week, which is it?

Minimum is 20 days in the Netherlands

I think or rather hope he confused vacation days with bank holidays.

I think a lot of people thought you meant days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't want to live in Turkey, but they do have good food.

Which country has such a low minimum? Or was that not a full time job?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

He means weeks, not days

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

The European minimum is 10 I think
