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.
That you get so little vacation. I’m also in the US and I currently get 30 days of vacation, 10 holidays and 10 sick days. That’s been pretty standard for me and I wouldn’t take a job offering just 3 weeks (15 days) of vacation.
It’s not so bad, I’m well paid and live comfortably. I was able to buy a house and land for my family to live in, in a nice safe area with clean air in the midst of forests with rivers, lakes, and state parks all nearby. We get to enjoy rural-ish life with city amenities in short driving distance.
I have:
14 fixed holidays.
31 vacation days.
35 hours workweek.
Summertime hours reduction (from 35 to 32 hours).
Fight for it, and force your countries and employers to apply those conditions, because I assure you, they are good.
lol these are my regular hours (webdev in Germany with a 4-day work week)
What’s the name of your employer again?
Seriously, those are really good conditions, I’m glad you are aware of that.

Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

I only just this month “unlocked” my final week PTO after 7 years… 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/
I’m sorry.
About what? I have a great life in the USA.
