I cheated a little. As I'm employed by a public organization of the Spanish government. But it's true that we achieved these conditions because we have massive Unions here in the public sector. We are currently threatening with a strike if the remove remote work (as they are threatening to remove it).

I'm in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 "personal days" which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.

This is not a basic entry-level job though, it's after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country's folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.

I only just this month "unlocked" my final week PTO after 7 years... 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/
