I don't think it's "extreme". Every company I've ever worked for as a
full-timer gave that kind of leave after several years of employment.
I'll bet the Terrier has been at his current company for at least 8
years.

I only know about white-collar office work, though. I'd guess that
you're right insofar as nobody in the retail or manufacturing or
agriculture sectors gets that kind of benefit.
