I try to use 3-5 weeks (on top of the holidays we get)

like

Yes.

Up to 3, more if needed for mental sanity.

More than 3 weeks consecutive will require special approval, but you can take more than 3 weeks in total. Many teams’ models for utilization assume 5 weeks…at least my SL does.

No issue at all taking time. If you schedule well in advance, I have never had anyone question it.

What are utilization targets at the manager level?

Is there a way to easily check how much PTO you've taken so far in a year? (Key word being *easily*.)

funny

M2 I do watch utilization, but as I've been on the bench I'd like to assess how much of my non-engagement time has been actual PTO.

EY5 that's what I've been doing, but it doesn't make sense that we don't have an efficient company-wide tool that does that so we're not losing productivity (time spent = however many minutes x however many people do this) for something I believe is pretty standard at most companies.

I can take up to 5 weeks in addition to our 2 shutdown weeks and holidays. Assuming I stay fully staffed throughout the year and still beat my full util target.

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.

I am in a self-contained cross category room. Grades 2-4. We have kiddos who need to be placed in therapeutic schools but those schools are understaffed due to Covid — their staff found other jobs during the shutdown—and so can’t take them. Several of our kids are huge. I have been slammed hard on the back, chased around the room to hit me, kicked, bitten, clawed, hair pulled. Is anyone else experiencing heightened behaviors?

I forgot to wear a mask in my apartment building common area. Ran back upstairs to get it but nervous and paranoid that I’ve been exposed. Is there anything I can do but quarantine and wait a few days to get tested? So mad at myself right now

Hi everyone! I’m new here. 217 days sober. I quit on September 11, 2021. I never thought I had an issue until I started lying to my friends and family about my consumption. I would take off work to drink all day and go home drunk, thinking I could play it cool and no one would notice. This has been very hard and very rewarding. If anyone is sober curious or even having a hard time with sobriety, something that really helped me is the reframe app. Be kind to yourselves!

I was listening to a podcast for one of the courses I’m taking and thought I’d share some cool stuff about building habits:

- Willpower is not as effective in making a long term change compared to building habits

- Reduce friction (eg much more likely to go to gym if it’s 5 mins away vs 10)

- Take an existing habit and add your new habit onto it

- Use chaos and stressful times to rethink practical decisions

- To break bad habits, add friction (eg phone & charger away at night)
