I feel like every time someone posts something about taking a long stint of PTO, everyone comes down and says they're gonna get fired. Take PTO, get fired. Don't, and get walked over. Yay.

Ive taken every allotted vacation day and then some in my 25 year career in this industry. Could I have moved the comp curve faster had I not taken that time and instead devoted extra hours to the office? Probably. Am I sad that I took the time instead of the money? Not one bit. Also most layoffs in this industry are entirely outside of your control. As long as you aren’t in the bottom 10% of performers, whether you get axes or not will have nothing to do with how much vacation time you took

Plan your PTO, book it, take it, come back recharged and continue to exceed.

Or work until you burnout and quit or get fired for underperformance.

Take PTO. Who gives a hoot?! If you’re stressed, recharge and come back fresh. No point in burning yourself out. Maybe when I was younger I worried about it but in hindsight, it’s a false negative IMHO

Long stint of PTO isn't the same as taking PTO. Good or bad, we choose a career where you really can't take few weeks off at a time as you would in a corporate role. Everyone is busy and one or two people gone for long periods adds tremendously to the work load. But if you're good at what you do and have shown commitment, I'm sure taking a few days off will not only be okay, but might be welcomed by colleagues, showing you know how to destress, rinse and repeat. Underlying assumption is that you don't work with dicks

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud. I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” I’m stuck. Thoughts/strategies?

I realized most of my anxiety or depression stems from a lack of career fulfillment. I recently started a new position and things were going great till they restructured my group and laid off a few on my team.

Now I'm always looking over my shoulder and too concerned about screwing up. In the past, I have been laid off & I can't help reading too much in to every single email. My therapist made me aware of this but I'm looking for coping tools that someone in my situation has found useful. HELP!

PSA 4 anyone looking at media agencies-stay far away from PHD (and Omnicom Media Group in general). As far as I can tell they are 1 of the only companies going from “we encourage you to come in 1x a week” to suddenly “its now mandated that everyone come in 3x week” - Senior leadership has done nothing to address many employees concerns of public safety, Covid, & mental health. Sounds like it’s “we’re paying rent here so let’s make sure we’re using it”. On top of that layoffs seem to be looming
