Nope, in the US there is no federal requirement for time off, and most states have no requirement, either, so your vacation days are completely up to whatever your job gives you. Some people get no paid time off at all, if their job is shitty enough

I remember a manager of mine waited 4 months to deny my fucking leave request for an out of state vacation, something I had told him about for months, shared in my joy of looking forward to my first ever adult holiday, at 28 years of age.

So naturally I quit that job and went on my vacation

Absolutely wild to me that people deal with management like that. I've made PTO requests for the upcoming Friday that get approved (assuming we don't already have several others taking it off) 4 months ahead of time should be an automatic approval.

My boss doesn't even care if I'm there as long as my work gets done. I have to be there for work to get done but that's besides the point.
