I cheated a little. As I’m employed by a public organization of the Spanish government. But it’s true that we achieved these conditions because we have massive Unions here in the public sector.
We are currently threatening with a strike if the remove remote work (as they are threatening to remove it).
I hate working from home with a passion! I got really depressed during covid lockdowns. My productivity fell to near zero. I had to have a talk with my employer and got a permit to work from the office. I see that it is practical every now and then and suffer through it if I have an errant that has do be done during the day.
I’m in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 “personal days” which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.
This is not a basic entry-level job though, it’s after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country’s folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.

Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

I only just this month “unlocked” my final week PTO after 7 years… 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/
