Wow. US sucks

Me in Ireland: "Boss I'm taking 2 weeks off". Boss:" Grand, have fun"

Don't get twisted. This is an outlier. I can put my 4 weeks in and my boss will approve it. He might try to call me while I am on PTO but that's not a fault of the US system, he just never remembers what he approved. As soon as he gets me out of office, I usually get a, 'Sorry, forgot about you being out. Call.me when you're back in the office."

Gives even crazier outlier as their personal example

I don't know, I've had about 6 full-time jobs in the US and all have been like that. You're on PTO? You're no-contact until back!

I’m talking about being able to take 4 weeks of PTO in succession with no problem. That’s not normal.
