My first reaction wasn’t, “Oh, the manager is trying to decide whether or not to grant it,” but rather “oh, the manager needs to put it into a calendar and find coverage and they can’t if there’s no name attached.” Super frustrating, especially if you end up asking the requestor to cover their own PTO because you don’t know who it is.

your default answer should be “yes” and “request” should be replaced with “notification.”
if you are a manager, then manage. ;) pto is not only part of compensation but also a human right.

Oh don’t worry. At Thermo Fisher, they call them “absences.”

I 1000% agree. Just make it a notification. Leave me out of it. All we need to know is that you’ll be out and when. You can deal with wether it’s PTO or if you aren’t getting paid. If the company you work for needs to reject your time off, that’s a shit company and you should quit.

Perhaps, but they do still need to know who’s going to be absent even if they’re going to approve it either way
