Company policy doesn’t allow for employees to roll over PTO. My manager cancelled 5 days of PTO in December and the opportunity to reschedule wasn’t what I wanted. I pushed and they allowed me to roll it over. She told me in IM this was approved, but Skype for Business history is not always reliable. If you were in my shoes how would you go about asking for written approval from my manager and her director without appearing as if you don’t trust them?

A1, yeah just don’t want to appear as if I don’t trust management. Which I don’t. Lol

I would draft an email and say, “Hi Y, per our discussion thank you for approving rolling over my PTO into next year(maybe you want to include how many days). Please let me know if I need to reach out to our HR Business Partner in regards to this matter due to policy changes this year. Regards, X”

My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
