At a previous company I had what sounded like unlimited PTO but in practice it was rarely encouraged and taking more than a week at a time felt frowned upon which made me appreciate how clear and usable defined PTO can be so how many PTO hours does your company offer each year and would you say it is generous about average or below average based on your experience?

32 PTO days, front loaded January 1st every year. If the day(s) is/are available, you request it no questions asked because the system approves it not a person. New ppl get a prorated amount depending on when you start during the year. We have the option to buy up to 5 days during open enrollment and everyone gets 20 days Jan 1 and goes up slightly with tenure at 5yr & 10yr.

We get 23 days inclusive of sick days.

Started a new job on Monday. My first year I have 18 days that accrue at 1.5 days per month. On top of federal holidays plus a handful of others.

We start at 15 days PTO plus 3 additional personal days and that’s accrued at 1.5 days a month through the Jan-Oct. After 3 years that increases to 20 days plus 3 additional personal days. At 10 years service it rises to 25 days plus 3 additional days. After 20 years it increases to 30 days plus 3 additional days. You can carry over 20 days a year. Starting in 2027 weeks can carry over 10 days a year. I think it’s really generous but you don’t get additional sick time, you take that from your annual allowance. .

like

You start with 20 days off but that doesn’t include holidays. Including holidays you basically start with 30 days, then you get 3 more days once you get to 5 years, then 3 more at 10 years and then again at 15 years and then I think you get 2 more at 25 years . You can carry over up to 5 days each year and you can purchase up to 5 additional days if you want

I think it's like 25 days maybe 28 but it's the only job Ive ever had that was more than a week

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal?
