I’m from Eastern Europe and I’ve learned what PTO means after working with US folks.

For us it was always called “vacation”. It is taken for granted that sick days, funerals (and plenty more that I can’t list from my head) are always paid.

That makes sense. I forget sometimes that we got vacation and sick days munged together into PTO.

"You'll get more time off!†"

† assuming you never get sick.

Thanks!
