I’ve been with them 16 years and get 20 vacation days and 12 company holidays. Nothing in addition to that (e.g., no sick or bereavement days, etc.) and no carryover to the next year (use it or lose it). FWIW, it’s a Fortune 500 company.

No carryover is stingy, but the rest is Generous/Okay.

I agree. I get 4 weeks PTO and can carry over 2x my rate (so 8 weeks) from year

My work gives me 5 weeks per year, and max out at 30 days. But also lets you cash out vacation anytime

What industry? And are your Sick and PTO combined or is that separate from sick?

They have 72 days off a year. Most of them love the schedule.

If my employer told me that one of the benefits of my salary position was that weekends are "days off"...

Four weeks vacation seems pretty good if they actually let you use it

So that translates to getting paid to not work for 10% of the workdays in the year. That's a good deal.
