Boss of mine way back in the day did. She negotiated for extra PTO in lieu of a raise when she got a promotion.

Thanks MD1. Just to clarify, I’m expecting an offer shortly and company typically offers new employees 3 weeks to start.

I have but it was from 2 to 3 weeks. Ultimately declined the offer. IMO it can't hurt to try.

Nice, what was your script?

Customer Success Account Managers at AWS…. Is it worth it? Salary? Benefits? PTO? But most importantly… how much do you actually work? I have been hitting quota and usually work 4-5 hours/day, sometimes more if it’s busy. Know I’m at the “take a leap to get a raise” phase but don’t want to take the leap of it means I lose my balance between work and home.

I don't understand all the discourse about firms and Juneteenth. The understanding at my firm is if it's a holiday take off unless you have work to do. I'm not sure there's any holiday that I actually "get off" if my workload doesn't permit it.

My husband and I decided to take a week vacation around Memorial Day with our daughter. We thought it would be nice to do some outside things that are safe to do each day even if it’s just spending most of the day in our backyard. That’s not the point - the point is I went to my SM and told her that I would like this week off and she came back with well it’s around a holiday so you might have to be flexible as in being around for emergencies and consistently checking your emails since others
