Going into a partner’s office tomorrow and asking for 5 more pto days and 25 remote days. Small boutique firm that I’ve been at for 2.5 years, the policies are draconian: 10 days of pto and 0 remote work. I love a lot about this place but just can’t fit the rest of my life into 10 days of pto, holidays, and weekends anymore. Nervous but I think I have nothing to lose. Wish me luck. Or gas me up because this woman is GREAT gaslighting.

Is there a remote days bank at your firm? I’m curious why you picked 25. I’d ask for 1-2 remote days per week. 10 days of PTO is absurd.

Your request is not insane. 10 days of PTO is literally only two weeks off, and it’s not like that affects your billable hours requirement. Their might be some compromise like having someone cover your matters while you’re out or giving a certain amount of notice. It’s doable.

Before making the request, you should consider what the firm culture is like. Are they workaholics who think being in the office is the best thing in the world? If so, you might consider exploring other opportunities first, and then making the decision based on the firm’s response to your request. If there is anyone you can trust, you should speak about it with them (but don’t give specifics) to see how it would land and get help with your approach.
