Does anyone else get frustrated during the holidays when a coworker takes PTO first and suddenly you’re stuck not being able to take time off? How do you deal with that without it turning into tension at work? In my role, one of us has to be on duty. This gets a bit challenging during the holidays.

That’s been my entire career. You have to plan with your coworkers. Switch off holidays. Or someone takes off the week before Christmas and the other the week after

Yes I need to work out a schedule with my coworker

Block your calendar with PTO for Christmas 2026 starting now and send it to team members/manager

That comes down to planning ahead. You have to either talk to your coworker weeks or months ahead of time, or have your manager talk to you both. And a fair resolution can be established.

I’ll start planning next year so both of us can switch on and off in big holidays

Yep, this seems to happen to me every single year. It is beyond frustrating because everyone has family and friends they want to spend time with. I try not to let there be any tension but there sometimes is.

In other words, you’ve done nothing and don’t know what else to do. If you continue to let it be done to you, why and how do you expect things to change? It won’t change unless you do something to change it.

This happened to me the first year I was in corporate and ever since I make sure to block my calendar out months in advance

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
