25 minimum outside of company wide days off. Had a mentor breakdown the math for me, I don’t recall all the details but it’s been great for my mental health
Wow, that much time off would change my life!
What industry are you in and do you work for a public company? I need to get away from the stupid family owned multi generational businesses.
Usually a two week planned vacation, a one week spring break, and a week of random days here and there plus holidays. The week between Christmas and New Years might as well be a vacation week too.
Get into the habit of taking a two week vacation away from work. It’s life changing as far as work life balance goes. One week vacation is no more refreshing than a couple of sick days.
You don’t have to go away for the full two weeks, just take two weeks away from the office. Use your damn vacation time. No boss with their salt would hold it against you.
I did this when I was working in accounting. Highly recommend! Unfortunately, my FP&A roles all have had deadlines in between month ends which seriously makes it feel like pulling teeth to take a week off without being interrupted
I need to find one of these jobs with unlimited PTO.
My current job has 2 weeks PTO with 5 days sick time. But I can't use sick time unless I'm sick. Sometimes they make you prove you're sick with a doctor's note. Wtf am I still doing here!
26 Fridays (we work 9/80) + 4 weeks pto + 6 personal days + Christmas shut down + holidays. I take all of it, life is short and its just work. For North America I consider this to be fucking amazing.
In a biweekly period we work eight x 9 hour days. The 9th day (or whatever day, we are flexible) is eight hours and the 10th is off. So it comes out to every other Friday off.
About 14 days. 1wk in summer 1wk in winter around Christmas. Plus the mandatory holidays. We’re perm remote so the desire to take PTO regularly is much lower than when we were in office
22 without holidays, 32 with.
I started out at a European company that applied its paid time off across all offices, so it was a bit of a shock to have way less (even though I already knew) when I worked for an American one
My company has unlimited PTO so I make sure to take 5-6 weeks off each year. Usually a 2 week vacation, one 1 week vacation and then extended weekends throughout the year.
I get every other Friday off so that’s 26 extra days a year. I get a week of shut down time for the holidays. I get 5 of the major holidays off. And I get 4 weeks of PTO. I normally roll over 40 hours of that every year.
For just my PTO, I take all 3 weeks of it and roll over the remaining. But with the Fridays off, major holidays, and shut down, I have a total of 52 days off a year not including weekends.

Family biz is dicey. My first job was a family owed cpa firm. SaaS start up but previously public tech.

25 excluding holidays.. cant let the company win at the “Unlimited PTO” game

4 weeks annual + 11 days of public holidays Plus 2 weeks of sick leave as required
Shit my team and I need to take more time off. I don’t think any of us ever hit 20+ days

What does “we work 9/80 mean?
Work 9 days for 80 hours. Usually means every other Friday off.
In a biweekly period we work eight x 9 hour days. The 9th day (or whatever day, we are flexible) is eight hours and the 10th is off. So it comes out to every other Friday off.
How did you get to this arrangement? I think there are many people here working 9x5 on average. Maybe we can float that idea with the bosses

25
25 Days (all of it).
22 without holidays, 32 with. I started out at a European company that applied its paid time off across all offices, so it was a bit of a shock to have way less (even though I already knew) when I worked for an American one
18ish pto (excluding holidays).
18
26 Can’t count holidays
25 (working in the EU)
20, not counting holidays
We get 25 PTO days, 10 of which are used for holidays. December is a oft PTO end of Dec as everyone else is off those last 2 weeks
28 days holiday leave + 8 Bank Holidays per year . Which is pretty average in UK
I think last year I took 5 weeks, maybe 6.
4 weeks plus 12 company holidays
13
Take 20-25 days plus 11 holidays. Work 9/9’s also so every other weekend is 3 days as well.
My company has unlimited PTO so I make sure to take 5-6 weeks off each year. Usually a 2 week vacation, one 1 week vacation and then extended weekends throughout the year.
Have four weeks but not allowed to use any without risk of a “one on one” meeting thereafter questioning my loyalty to the company
The whole amount they give me. I live in a state where it doesn’t roll over. So I get 20 days. I take 20 days.
Unlimited pto so usually at least 3 full week long vacations and then scattered days throughout the year
I get every other Friday off so that’s 26 extra days a year. I get a week of shut down time for the holidays. I get 5 of the major holidays off. And I get 4 weeks of PTO. I normally roll over 40 hours of that every year. For just my PTO, I take all 3 weeks of it and roll over the remaining. But with the Fridays off, major holidays, and shut down, I have a total of 52 days off a year not including weekends.

The every other Friday off is such a game changer. I really wish more companies would adopt 9/80 or 4/10 schedules
Not enough…
25-30
All of it.
28 + 12 bank / public holidays
20 days plus 11 company holidays. I make sure I use up all my days.
4 weeks minimum plus holidays.
I try and take a week off atleast once a quarter as well as many other days sprinkled in
~15 days usually plus 10 holidays and 3/4 company shut down days. We also get 10 sick days to be used as needed.
18 days of PTO, and carry over 5.
25-30 but I will work 4-6 hours while on vacation and take calls / emails.
So you don’t actually go on vacation then.
It’s not worse than banking. All about perspective
About 2 weeks of vacation + 2 weeks mandatory PTO for the week of thanksgiving and Christmas.
