US average PTO (paid time off, not vacation; that is for ANY time off while maintaining income. Sick? PTO.) is what, 2-3 weeks a year at best?
Plus it’s incentivised to not use it, as some states require unused PTO be paid to the employee if they leave for another job (which is the only real way to get a raise or bonus); which is why some companies also switch to “unlimited time off”, as you can’t pay out infinity and you can just not approve the time off.
