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 would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
