I’m technically offered 10 days. I’m lucky if I use 6 or 7…
Comment on Every damn day
zout@fedia.io 5 months agoWorkers who receive 11 to 15 days of PTO each year are more likely to use up their days, Rodney says, but there's a significant drop-off once people get 16 or more days.
And here I am, thinking my 30 days are too little.

Is it because they wouldn’t be approved? If I have leftovers near the end of the year I just take a few Fridays off, giving myself some long weekends
orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 5 months ago
No, I think my supervisor would approve as many days as I want as long as I also get all of my work done. There’s always just too much work to do, it seems.

But that’s not your problem. If you cannot handle the work assigned to you, you are overworked and that’s the fault of your employer. I think what millennials and zoomers are doing is just not falling for the bullshit we’ve been living with for so long.

There will always be more work to be done. You can work until your dying day and there will still be more. Make your life worth living.

I remember reading a quote from someone that said something along the lines of “No one on their deathbed ever says ‘I wish I’d spent more time at the office’”.

God, same. But please realise that it’s not your fault if you have more work than can be done. Take the time off to refresh. Both your mental health and your work performance will be the better for it.
I’ve recently got in the habit of scheduling all of my time off for the year in one go. Sure sometimes I regret it, because I’m right in the middle of something when time off comes, but ah well

the beauty of having time off is you are allowed not to care
Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Consider taking alternate Mondays and Fridays, same 4 day week, but a 4 day weekend every other week.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
So wait, those 10 days are just the maximum limit and not the minimum limit?
AtariDump@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They are.

Maybe you can buy more days off through the benefits system?
zout@fedia.io 5 months ago
I can, and I do most years.

My friend has unlimited PTO. He’s not even shamed for using it.
I’m envious.
jj4211@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Typically, people take fewer days off when “unlimited”, as they don’t feel they are owed any particular amount.
toynbee@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Also, in the US, employers have to pay departing employees for any unused PTO. If the PTO is “unlimited,” there’s (perhaps counterintuitively) nothing to reimburse.
tkohldesac@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Wow, I hadn’t even considered this. Here I was jealous.
RBWells@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s only true in California. Accrued PTO does not have to be paid out, nor rolled into the next year. Some employers will pay it out but it’s not a law. Except in California.

Fair! I suppose find myself with sooo much excess vacation time since WFH means I don’t have to take “me” days to recharge like I did when I had to go into a horrible open office every day.
