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.

Why? You are entitled to point that out. 😂

Well deserved because they recognize you’ve been working hard and should take a break at this particular time, not well deserved as in you earned PTO.

I have someone who works under me who used to take PTO and take his company laptop just in case. I had to keep telling him “No you’re not. I don’t want to hear from you for a week.”

I smell a cancelation in the air

Because even though ‘it’s in our contract’ we’re still just rats in a cage

Some people are just envious for no reason at all. Don’t pay them much head, and enjoy your time.

I know. It really drives me nuts when people say that.

This new PTO policy is so bogus. I have a newly promoted senior that is still a staff on my large job and just told me they requested a week off during fieldwork, even though they have been unassigned for multiple weeks here and there all summer. They told me they were waiting until August so that they wouldn’t have to use their accrued time so they can bank it. So now I’m totally screwed and down a team member and my manager thinks “I can handle it”. My morale is at an all time low right now.
