Do you ever feel conscious about how much PTO you’re taking? What about vacations that are just few weeks apart?

Nope, never. I have a right to take my PTO whenever and however long I want if I’ve earned/accrued it.

I’m more conscious of how long a vacation is… eg it would be great to go to Hawaii for three weeks and I technically have the time but I’d be worried about going that long

Just one week for each, but only 3 weeks apart

Never. I’ve hesitated once, was denied, and ended up covering for someone for three weeks who put in a request first. It sucked, I was pissed, and missed out on a great adventure with my friends in Southeast Asia. After that I never hesitate to put in for exactly what I want. You’ll always remember the trip but you’ll soon forget the quarterly report.

I used to. Not anymore. I make sure to prepare the others well and that usually helps mitigate and side-eyes I would expect from peers.

Good point here

Absolutely! I have 2 long weekends that I’m taking off later this month but hesitated to put in my requests.

Reading the comment below, don’t hesitate to put it in!

Nope. I just make sure I choose a slot without critical deliverables, or get them done prior. Don’t just leave and make others cover major stuff.

That is kind of you

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
