8. Vacation policy in the US just sucks.

I am fairly lucky. I work for a large Fortune 100 Company and we got 2 weeks, 5 sick days, 3 personal days and all paid holidays the first year. After 5 years it goes up to 3 weeks, 10 years 4 weeks, 15 years 5 weeks and after 20 6 weeks. Same amount of sick and personal days. I broke my arm one year and could take ST Disability where I got 80% of my pay when I was out for a month. You can also buy a week or two of vacation (I forgot which), and the money comes out of your check every pay period.
