American here. I work for a company that gives 5 weeks per year. It's great. I can take a 1-2 week vacation in the summer and various days and weeks off throughout the year. It doesn't hurt that my boss is great and almost never says no to time off. "Hey, this project is draining. I could really use a week off for mental recovery. It looks like nobody is off next week." "Go for it."

It's possible, fellow Americans. Unions are the way.

5 weeks seems like a good minimum to shoot for, yeah. Even with technically "unlimited" vacation, I tended to take 1 week a quarter, 2 in the summer, and then whatever Christmas to New Year's is. I wish I could take more in the Summer of course, but it is what it is.
