How much of your PTO do you typically use in a year? I get 3 weeks and have only used one each of the past three years. I don't have plans that require me to take time off so I just don't think to use it. I know I'm basically throwing money away like this.

I have 33 PTO days plus a freebie floater. I usually carry over 5 days a year so this year I've got 39 days to burn. I'm taking them all.

I get 4 weeks and I use it all every year, a week every 3 months to relax and recharge really helps prevent burnout

Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..
