US does not have guaranteed PTO. Most places do give some, but not everywhere. Even those who do give very little.

    You do if you're in a union. At least my union does. Part of our pay package includes contributions to our PTO accounts at our credit union. As far as I'm aware, the same is true for all of the other big trade unions as well. We also have paid sick days that accrue over the course of the year with any unused getting rolled over or paid out if you quit.

    Join a union kids.
