I took a half-day today and regretted it because I saw that my bosses let us out early. Have you ever regretted taking time off?

This is quite literally the only scenario when I would because you wasted a half PTO day. Otherwise, nope, never. Every day away from work is a good day.

haha i knowww it really sucked

I've regretted it when I took time off to do something and then whatever I was going to do didn't come together the way I wanted. If I take a day off to work on a personal project and don't make much headway I'll regret it. Part of that, of course, is that I'm really kicking myself for not having made good use of the time.

yeah its so hard when the pto days are limited and precious

Please refer me to those in need of a remote control position

Thank you, are you interested in looking for a remote control position

Took several days off around Christmas once, realized I had left my iPad in my desk drawer so drove over on my day off to grab it. When I walked in the place was empty. I could have not taken the time off (and I was young and had very little time to begin with) and no one would have known.

I’ve never taken actual PTO around the holidays since. I’m remote so it’s easier but no one is working around the holidays anyways so it’s a waste using actual vacation time around then when you can save it and no one is going to notice or care.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?
