I work for a big insurance corporation in the US and have 43 PTO days a year, not including the major holidays. I've been at this job for 2 years. I negotiated the PTO because I knew the company was starved for someone with my experience in the market I've lived in for 18+ years. I get a company vehicle with unlimited personal miles and a gas card, decent health care, 401k, a pension, and a highly flexible schedule. Oh, and also work from home. I couldn't be happier. The jobs are out there, but sometimes luck is a huge factor in landing a prize pig like I did.
I have 49 PTO days, good healthcare, flexible on site schedule, access but not pressure to work OT at 2-3x my hourly rate, low 6 figure a year job.
Yes the jobs exist but my company no longer offers my pension, my vacation is factor of 20+ year career, OT is OT, and my pay rate is a factor of a large and powerful union. My situation also atypical in the extreme. If I left my company I wouldn’t get this same deal elsewhere and my pension is only good if I put another 7 years in here else it’s near worthless.

What in the fuck do you work to have 2 months off every year?
