Don’t give 10 vacation days if you preach about mental health

I’m tired of interviewing at companies that preach about work/life balance and talk about home much they care about their employees well being and mental health and give the bare minimum of vacation days. (I also want to say that vacation days are a luxury in the US and I wish there was a mandatory minimum for all of those who get none). Anyway I’ve interviewed with companies that do care and have told me they give two mental health days a quarter not included in PTO. I’ve worked with people who care about me and my mental health issues and have encouraged me to seek therapy and help me out. But 10 days is not enough if that’s what you preach. 10 days in nothing especially when you underpay and over work people. I’m tired of talking to recruiters who are embarrassed by there company’s compensation.
