4 weeks

Most places don't treat sick days any different than vacation days so what does your situation matter?
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

yeah anyone can take unpaid time off, imagine paying how much you make a day to take a day off that's essentially what you're doing

it's not worth it at all

Depends on your experience level. Entry-level then two weeks. I'm nearing 20 years and I wouldn't take a new job with less than three weeks of vacation plus a week of sick leave or four weeks paid time off.

I get eight weeks in the summer, two weeks over Christmas, a week in the spring, and a few days over Thanksgiving.

And I currently have over forty sick days built up.

When i was at costco I had like 6 weeks, was pretty good

After holiday rush they'd offer unpaid time off to cut hours

I'd always use some vaca and some unpaid and take like 6-8 weeks off lolol

I wouldn't be happy with any less PTO than I get now. Hit my 10 years so I think I have 5-6 weeks. This past year they changed our year from renewing in the fall to calendar year so this year was wonky. They said they prorated some days to get through the couple extra months but pretty sure they gipped us.

Came ITT to say 4 weeks minimum. Plus all the standard US holidays, which should be like 8 days.

A job offer gets bonus points to me if it has 5 weeks or more off, and/or the opportunity for more vacation time as you get more tenure.

My current gig gives a little over 5 weeks off, with the opportunity for 6, and then 7, if I stay here for pretty much my entire career lol.
