How do YOU ask for PTO when on a project ?

You do not have to ask for PTO. You need to give your team leader appropriate notice (clarify when you join a project what the amount of notice should be) and then ensure that the people covering for you know what they need to know to get the job done.

Point is though that it’s your PTO to take.

On my project, we just put the time on the appropriate people’s calendars and coordinate any necessary coverage. I’ve never run into a scenario where it was an issue.

anything that is 2-3 days or less I just talk with my lead and coordinate backup and priorities, any longer PTO my lead runs by my senior manager with my backup plan to see if there are any concerns—but in general my team is super flexible and like D1 said it more of a notice with backup plan than an ask

I don’t ask. I just book it and let the team know.

I tell them I'm going on PTO.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness; f permission.

Ask, tell, go.

You just take it

Does anyone here work for any public accounting firms in the Charlotte area with a decent work life balance? I am looking to go somewhere where I can focus on a few clients for longer periods of time rather than constantly bouncing around. I find it much less stressful to put in longer hours if it's a client that I have been scheduled on long term.

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.
