My current boss is by far the best one I've ever had.
It's me.
I've also got a great employee. That's me as well.

I'll never understand this. I regularly encourage my staff to use their PTO and only deny requests if multiple people want overlapping days. Even then, if we can rearrange the schedule to make it work, we will.

I get 5 sick days a year. I can roll over sick days, allowing up to 13 sick days a year. If I use more that 2 in a row, I need a doctors note. If I use 5 sick days in a row I forfeit my bonus pay for that month. Fuck me right?
You should know better than to get sick!

I've got 9 weeks of vacation saved up, and I must take it you say?
Ok, I'll see you in 9 weeks!
What do you mean, 9 week is too long to be gone? Make up your mind!

Tell me you work in the US without telling me you work in the US.
Your boss did not give you vacation days. Your government/union did.
I'd say you earned them as part of the agreed compensation in exchange for your work. That way you also cover circumstances where there's no union, and no government requirement, but the employer still offers PTO to be competitive with other employers. Which theoretically could also be driven by other people's unions or governments, but then that would be indirect.
Besides which, regardless of how the arrangement came to be, you earned your PTO.
That's not strictly true. In the US there is in most states NO requirements for paid leave outside of a few protected types. But not vacation or sick. And we also are largely not unionized. We still have time off albeit MUCH less than Europeans and such.
Though I'd argue the norm of having any paid time off is a byproduct of labor/union battles in the past.
We're given just enough scraps to avoid mass unionization. That's because the last time it happened we got The New Deal. This time it'll be the Economic Bill of Rights. The leftist platform hasn't changed for 80 years.

Where did they say they were from the US?
Nowhere, but they said it as though it was a universal truth and I provided an example to the contrary.
Guys, he's from the US.
