I have been working for a large contractor for about 5 years. Its pretty common to leave this place after a few years because they are known to overwork and underpay their employees. On average we tend to work 10+ hour days (although I have gone as high as 16) and working weekends is not uncommon. The only saving grace we have is our payed time off (PTO) which includes both our sick time and our personal/vacation time. We are given 20 days a year and it rolls over to the next year if we don't use it.
In my attempts to leave I've been offered a couple jobs, but each only offer at most 10 days off a year. Thats after working there for at least a year. This got me wondering what is considered a normal amount of PTO in the United States.
What do you think is normal for PTO? Is 10 days a year reasonable?
