Did you feel the same with Trump when he pledged to make it a federal holiday, but failed to deliver?

Trump pledges to make Juneteenth federal holiday in bid for Black voters

Nonsense. The BLS data you're looking at includes small companies as well. Look at the average PTO for the Fortune 500 companies. You can't compare the federal government to a lemonade stand.

Must be nice when taxpayers are footing the bill for NINE WEEKS of paid vacation per year!
Those are their most productive days each year. In a way, they are doing a service, by not spreading their poor work ethic, indifference to doing quality work, etc into the productive private sector.

I am a federal employee.

Top of my head

-10 paid holidays each year

-4 hours of sick leave every 2 weeks

-3 hours of vacation every 2 weeks if you have less than 3 years of service, 6 hours of vacation if you have between 3 to 15 years of service, 16+ years of service you get 8 hours every 2 weeks. You cannot accumulated more than 240 hours after one calendar year. Anything over 240 hours is use-or-lose

Some people here think federal employees and military should be working like slaves and deserve no sick or vacation time

No one deserves 44 days. That is a silly huge amount.

Do you not understand how this works? You thought federal workers had 43 holidays before this?

We don’t get 44 days of vacation each year. Sick leave cannot take as vacation. Neither is holiday.

I have 17 years in the federal service and I max out 26 days of vacation time per calendar year.

And the BLS data that poster quoted wasn't even accurate. BLS states 10 days of PTO for an employee with 1 year of service. This does not include sick days, holidays, or any other type of leave. Equalizing federal workers: they get 13 days of PTO at one year of service.
