I here to say use your PTO! Take that time off and enjoy your time! I’m loosing 45hours of PTO and 15hours of floating holiday. I’m almost always at work, when I request days off I end up over working so my PTO isn’t used. My PTO refresh next week and I vow to take my days off.
Do you overwork like me or do you take full advantage of your PTO?

I went about 5 years without taking my PTO because I couldn't afford to travel. Lesson learned! I will always take it now!

Thank you for the reminder, actually. I have a couple of days off that I need to schedule before I'm told "it's too late, sorry." I hate that I lose my PTO at the end of every year! It's such a terrible system.

I am right there with you! I use every single one of my PTO hours every year. You don't get bonus points for grinding and never taking your vacation time.

I always use my PTO because why not? My company has a policy to carry over some hours to next year and I do that too so that I can take a big vacation sometimes.

PSA: it’s better to use all your vacation and then quit vs taking the payout. I just got cucked.

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

I love when coworkers say “Enjoy your PTO, it’s so well deserved.” Like what? It’s in my offer letter and part of my compensation, I’m entitled to it. We all are.

I’ve been a family caregiver for four years, and now look to return to the workforce. I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
