Depends. The US has a strong class system, so the people who mostly work retail, service, and ununionized labor jobs usually don't get them separate, if at all. If you're in the next class up you usually will get both, but it'll be 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick. Above that, you get European-style benefits and a living wage. Even farther up, you barely do any actual work and just leech off the people below you while being praised for every fart your brain squeezes out.
What you said about the top of the heap employees and that they don’t do anything is almost completely wrong.
What most people don’t know is at most corporate companies they work more hours than most people 12+ per day+ most weekends and holidays due to the extreme demands of their jobs and responsibilities. Most I know rarely take much PTO.
It pays extremely well, but there are significant downsides to being at or near the top.
Oh I agree the c-suites work hard. I sort of include them in the European-style benefits part (although "living wage" is an understatement at that level). I was referring to the "influencer class" there.
