All of it! I am a supervisor, and I make all my employees use every bit of it, not worth losing it. Work/life balance. Life is far more important than work!

All of it and I buy more if the company offers it. Take your time off

Is this a serious question? You take all of it. Period. If you don’t take all of it you are robbing yourself of your own pay. Block the time off at the beginning of the year so you make sure you take the time.

My company has unlimited PTO, very grateful.

I take every single PTO that I possibly can. It’s negotiated as part of your compensation, so leaving any on the table is robbing yourself of your own pay. The only time I leave any leftover is if I’m banking it for the following year because I know I’m going on an extended vacation.

All of it!!! I accrued it and will use it.

When I was on a system that you could bank I probably took close to 3 to 4 weeks every year. But then they changed things to where you could no longer Bank it’s user lose so it’s probably somewhere around the same 3 1/2 to 4 weeks and I use every second of it.

I used to save as much as possible & was worried I wouldn't be able to take the 280 hours before the end of the year. Starting this year we could only carry over 80 at the end.

But I have been outsourced so that lump PTO check was nice. Heavily taxed, but nice.

I try to be mindful of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. In our field, it’s easy to let PTO accumulate—especially when you're deep into files or trying to stay ahead. I know some adjusters are compensated based on production, so if you're not taking time off, at least there's financial reward. That said, if there’s a buyback option, I’d recommend selling off what you don’t use.

Still, it’s important to be cautious of burnout. Even a few days away from the screen can help reset your energy and perspective. A little rest goes a long way for both your health and your overall effectiveness on the job.

Time away from work is so important. I won't consider any opportunity unless there is ample time off. PTO, VTO. Being in Medicare and sales in general, we are so used to pushing ourselves to the brink during busy seasons. Work hard and play even harder. We are alive to LIVE! Not just work. :) Take your time away. Enjoy your work and enjoy your life even more. :)

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
