Does anyone feel guilty taking PTO in the middle of a study/big project? I'm supposed to go on an eight day vacation at the end of the month but I'm starting to feel bad about leaving my team right now. On the other hand, I haven't had a vacation in two years. What's the right thing to do here?

If you've planned it well in advance and submitted all your time off requests and gotten approved, I honestly wouldn't feel so guilty. There's always gonna be some reason to not take the vacation, but you don't want to waste your entire life waiting for the perfect conditions to take time off.

I do feel bad leaving during something like that, but you already give so much time to work, how much more do we have to give? Set your team up for success before you leave and enjoy the time off.

Take the time off and don't worry about feeling guilty. I assume it was all approved, it's not like you're just not going to show up unannounced and leave them shorthanded. The whole idea of time off is to come back refreshed, so enjoy your trip and when you get back to work you'll be better for it.

Initially but then I don’t because my manger will take off and not even tell our team until she gets back from vacation .

You’ll regret not taking it more than taking it. Set yourself up with delegates and make a clear action list for your boss to cover you. You’re not that important to the company or your study that it will fall apart after one week without you. If you are, you’re not making enough money. 😉

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience. Does anyone know of any CROs/pharma companies that are willing to hire someone with research expertise from an academic medical center rather than already in industry? Thanks!
