How many vacation days/PTO do you think everyone should be entitled to? We only get 10 days and that doesn't seem like enough. I would say everyone should get four weeks of PTO yearly.

I'm from Europe. 4 weeks is a pretty standard minimum there. The fact that people only get a week here in the states is crazy to me.

We get two weeks per year and two floating holidays. It's definitely not great, but it's much better than other places I've worked. I agree that four weeks should be minimum, but I'm sure that will never happen!

10 is too low. Recent college hires start with 21 at my firm. After 3 years, goes up to 24. And we have 4 separate sick days.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
