I’m using PTO to sit at home. Not in CA so use it or lose it
Chief
100%, even if I’m sitting at home. You need the break to disconnect. Also, use it or lose it.
I used it. Needed a break - time off is time off.
Used PTO one day last week because I was tired. Slept in and then went out for a bike ride. Can't wait for tomorrow evening!

Normally I would do a two week trip so I have 10 days I need to use or else they expire by 9/30 and I cannot take vacation past 7/15, so just been taking 4 day weeks every week until then.
I’ve been taking off a day a week because it is so nice to have one day where I’m just responsible for entertaining my toddler- not entertaining while trying to jam in 5 hours of calls
Enthusiast
I used it to go explore my city and hike. Gave me some peace to look at nature and remind myself how fragile and beautiful life is. And that having money and material possessions do not matter (unless you are deprived of a safety net)
Take PTO and just drive to a closeby national park and go hiking or go to another town where restrictions aren’t as high (like most of the south) and hang out .. no ones forcing you to stay home

Take a sick day for “mental health”
I don’t get sick days, just PTO :(
I have. Been taking 1/2 days every other week.
Pro
I am headed camping and mountain biking next week!
I used it but ppl knew I was home so ended up doing a fair amount of work and dialing into things...
Another factor I’m keeping in mind is that it is basically a guaranteed severance if I were to get laid off. I have 3 weeks right now. That money would really help if shit hit the fan.
Me!!! It was awesome.
