I just got an offer (woo!) and was planning on signing it tomorrow AM and giving my two weeks. Problem is two weeks from tomorrow is the 2nd. I have the 1st and the 2nd scheduled off as PTO. I already have a 4th of July trip booked and need those days off. Is it rude to not be able to give a full two weeks? How should I make note of that when I give my two weeks tomorrow?

Thanks!

So, I knew ahead of time that I would be working Thanksgiving weekend, but I just got my schedule for December and it looks like I'm going to miss Christmas as well. I feel bad that I am missing so much time with my kids, how does everyone else deal with these emotions? Any tips on how I can make up the missed experiences with my children?

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. Iโ€™ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. Iโ€™m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
