It’s sad there’s such a disparity between leave amounts at different employers in the USA. It really should be standardized.
I’m from Australia, where it’s mandated to get four weeks (20 days) of PTO per year, 20 weeks of paid parental leave, at least a year of unpaid parental leave, and an extra 8 weeks of PTO every 7 years (“long service leave”).
I’m living in the USA now, and am fortunate that my employer offers 21 days PTO per year. I also have unlimited sick leave, which is a strange phrase to hear as an Aussie (why would sick days be limited??)

Is the extra 8 weeks of long service PTO independent of the position you hold at a company?
