    most people don’t get paid time off

    WTF really? I know workers get fucked really bad in the US, but do most people not get time off at all?

      You seriously haven’t heard us complaining? Most people get something but a few weeks is unheard of. I think most people I know who even get pto have a little over a week/year between personal and sick days

        Yeah, I heard that. Never hard that most don’t get any time off. You’ll notice I asked rather than calling bullshit, since I didn’t think it was impossible but thankfully it was just hyperbole based on what you say.

          You really don’t get any. You have to be well established in your career to be allowed to use it. You can’t really say “I’m taking a day off next week” and expect your job to not look for a reason to punish/fire you.

      The minimum for New York is 40 hours of sick time a year that has to be earned. This had to be fought for.
