Is it a good idea to tell my lead that I am about to have a mental breakdown? I am going through something personal, and this busy season hasn’t been easy for me. I requested pto, but basically was told that it is not appropriate to use pto in busy season. I am on the edge of quitting , but I think I should at least try to talk to someone before I give my notice. Any advice for this situation?

Definitely tell someone - they'd much rather you take the time you need than quit. Make sure you talk to someone you trust, who cares about their people.

Hello Fishes,
What are your leave plans?
(Year end is nearing, most of the accounts must have or will move to Code Freeze period and some of the leaves will expire by year end).

1. No leave plans at all.
2. Utilise some part of leave.
3. Utilise all leaves for Vacation.
4. Utilise all leaves for Upskill/Reskill.
