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

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

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.

Probably Turkey. Euro wannabes 😂

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.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 5 points 3 months ago

He means weeks, not days

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

The European minimum is 10 I think
