Are we talking about 4 weeks PTO on paper, i.e., what would happen IRL?

Or are these 4 magical weeks of PTO where I can take a real vacation and not have to worry about work?

I'd pay $0.00 for the former; probably ~$175K for the latter.

I own my own business, so I can take off whenever I want and still be "paid". What I can't do is ever take a vacation longer than a weekend and not end up working <3 hours/day.

If I could freeze time for my clients, OC, and the court, like that guy in the movie Cashback, and take a real vacation, that I'd pay big $$$ for.

In this day and age there really is no such thing as PTO. You're always on. The trade off is that you don't have to go to an office and have a lot more flexibility during your day-to-day, but everyday is a workday, and the workday starts at 6 am and goes to 11pm or later.

That would be 7 days less than I get now, and I take all of it. (I also get Juneteenth, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day off.) And I can take random days and don’t have to take it in 1 week blocks like some biglaw corporate cuck.

BTW some people at my company who started here long ago had a deal where they got something like another week of vacation every 5 years they stayed up to a total of 8 weeks. There were older people I worked with who took 8 weeks of real vacation per year and would not respond to any emails while they were out of the office. Most of them were in niche roles they could do in their sleep, though.

Is 4 weeks a big deal? I give all my employees 3 weeks

Almost none of them ever comes close to using it all

I've never let vacation go to waste, which means that I've been taking over 6 weeks a year for like the past 5 years. And last year I took paternity leave (an extra 8 weeks).

On the downside I don't fully step away ever.

Zero regrets. Also took an extra 4 weeks of vacation. It was absolutely 180.

I would absolutely reject it. If you have a real job, taking time off is horrible. It's not like the work just magically disappears.

No kidding. The stress building up the month or so before vacation is awful. Client: “Oh hey we’re sending you a new deal in the next few weeks.” Makes me want to cancel my vacation right then or just let my wife and kids go (but then she’ll be pissed because that’s “not a vacation” for her). Or the psychopathic partners who do not give af about your ooo and do the “yeah junior bitch partner Josh will get a first draft out tomorrow” when that’s the first time you’ve even heard of a matter and then schedules a kick-off call with worthless but attractive junior associates and disappears himself.

It’s absolute hell. And some “partners” will offer to cover but then you either have to give them credits or they’ll try to steal the client—or both!

It’s very stressful. I now take no more than a week at a time. The smaller things / daily noise can sometimes wait 1 week.

We get 175% which is dropping to 150%. So with 5 weeks I can bank 7.5 (I always end at my max) plus my 6 personal days. So theoretically I could take almost 14 weeks off next year.

Why would you bother retiring?

Literally none, just wait until your job screws you over and then leave for more PTO & more money.

That's what it is called. Otherwise, you have to worry about that vacation and personal days are different. PTO is everything.

I’ve always taken all my PTO until this year. Would usually do a 2 week family trip in the fall and smaller things throughout the year.

Took a more demanding position for $$$ at a startup and it’s just not possible to take PTO for longer than a few days. It’s horrible and just leads to burnout . Don’t know how people work with nothing to look forward to. Would a 25% paycut to go back to the previous situation.
