Any advice? I'm trying to schedule PTO in the new year, and even though I've earned that time and I'm planning well in advance, it's been made very clear that taking PTO is deeply frowned upon. It's obviously making me feel like I should cancel my trip to avoid tension at work.

Is this the whole story or is there more? Do you have a busy season and you’re trying to take it during those months?

at your level, you should take it almost whenever you want to. your career counselor should be encouraging you and on your side. it is unhealthy not to take any time off

Depends.

1. Do you have like a two month period where you can't take off, that's clearly defined, but any other time is fine?

2. Is it a vacation that can't be taken at a less busy time of year? Like a 50 year anniversary cruise for your grandparents over spring break? If you can convince someone you're worth it and work extra the week before and after, you might be able to do that once.

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
