Is it a bad look to choose a work opportunity over PTO? Just promoted to ACD, and this is a big moment with the client at a shoot, and it's the same time as a cousin's wedding. I'm wondering at the ACD+ level, is it a bad look to say "No"... Reimbursement for non-refundable travel was offered up. What would you do?

So you already took PTO? That’s your time, you’ve earned it. There’ll be other shoots.

How close are you to your cousin? If you're really close, I'd say the wedding takes priority. If it's someone distant from a larger family who probably wouldn't be upset if you didn't go, then decline, send a gift and do the shoot.

Your family is more important than your work. Period. There will be other shoots, other big clients, and other big moments. Your cousin will (hopefully) only get married once.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
