  This is a rather silly way of saying take a vacation, or time off between jobs.

  What editor let this out of the gate?

  Isn’t that just an annual holiday? Don’t you get those in the U.S.?

    Hahahaha, automotive is kind of the exception, in the US vacation is an uncommon thing. Generally you’ll get 1 day off for specific federally mandated holidays, and a number of days of paid time off that covers both sick days and vacation probably averaging around 15 days per year.

      15 total days of paid time off may be average for people who actually get PTO, but most people I know only get paid when they come in to work - no PTO at all

    Depends on the job, it’s not guaranteed nor is it legally protected (it is on paper, not in practice)

    Some jobs offer days off but usually salaried positions.

    We don’t get an annual holiday like they do in the EU from what I understand.

    Usually something like 2 weeks a year and that improves with seniority.

    Some jobs are now offering unlimited PTO, but that is just a way to not pay us for our accrued PTO when they fire us.

    I like having an unlimited PTO job for the ease of mind but I don’t take more than 2 weeks off with it.
