How often do you take PTO? Do you have to schedule it and get it approved? Is it a hassle at your job to take off?

I try to take mine when it's convenient for the company. That's usually how I get the days I want off. Part of being higher up in logistics means you have to work around the company's schedule. What time of the year is the best for you to take off?

I see. Actually with my job currently, I usually take a week off in the summer and another week in the fall/winter.

When the season is the least busy, I'll give two weeks notice for PTO.

That’s good! Do you have a backup for when you are gone?

I try to take time off at least once per quarter. My preference is for small vacations/long weekends, so this works well for me.

I love that! I do that too! I like my longer weekends!

I aim to take at least two weeks of PTO per year, typically split into one week chunks to recharge, explore new destinations, and return to work feeling refreshed and energized.

This is exactly I do!

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.

Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
