Come to Paris in August, the whole city is on vacation!

Joke aside, it baffles me every time this comes up wrt. american workers. I have 5 weeks PTO and I'm the worst off from all of my friends: most have between 7-8 weeks, some even up to 9-11 weeks per annum. [and they're not even teachers] Of course you're also expected to take every last day.

11 weeks = 55 days, this is a lot. I have an average of 42 (depends on how bank holidays are placed in a given year) and it looks good (Paris area).

Though when I think of that, a friend of mine who works at the CEA mentioned something like 50 days off.

For US folks :this does not include sick days, these are completely independent (and not capped)
