    American here.

    We get less than that. And we got a LOT of small business owners who are pissed that they have to honor that. And like the meme, showcase it like it was a PRIVILEGE for working there.

      This is all dependent on where you live. Many states don’t have any requirements. If the state focuses on its at-will status, you can bet leave or possibly even breaks is not a guarantee.

      Yeah, time off varies quite a bit my company, though most seem to give at least 2 weeks of leave, often with no distinction between sick leave and vacation. I get 3 weeks + 2 days (and 11 fixed holidays), and I’m about to get 4 weeks + 2 days, and that’s considered “good” by American standards.
