If you have 200 hours of PTO can you take 1 hour a day and end your day earlier for the rest of the year?

Take ten 6 minute breaks throughout the day.

'Sorry. I can't take a meeting between 11:54 and noon. I'm on PTO.'

If you block those minutes off on your calendar then it should eliminate about 50% of your available meeting times resulting in significantly more downtime than 200 hours during the year.

Take every monday off for a year. much better use of your PTO

I don’t think firms will appreciate you just choosing to do this. You have to run stuff like this by your manager also.

If firms were okay with it, and confirmed with them they’re happy with that, that would be much better than taking an hour off for a bunch of days.

Theoretically, but that’s assuming you’re able to enforce an 8 hour workday all year. I’d advise truly disconnecting with a full day / vacation instead

^ also recommend Monday and not Friday

Theoretically yes, but like D1’s joke comment, it wouldn’t be practical. Last minute emails, deliverables that need to get done, managers who pull you in for quick meetings.

I have 344 hours. 😒

No. You can take a day off, and you can take a half day off. That’s it.

Some places make you take four hour blocks. Check the policy on what’s allowable

Imagine wanting to do that...

Received a verbal job offer on Tues. $5k short of what I had said was my desired range but still up from my current salary. We set up a call for Thurs to discuss further. On Wed they sent me all benefits info. Thursday on the call I asked if we could either increase moving stipend or get closer to my desired salary. They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review.

Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
