Overheard someone at the pool today calling up friends and offering for them to come on an all expenses paid week-long vacation to Mexico with them next week. They were struggling to get someone to say yes, and I was half tempted to offer to go with them. Question is, if you said yes to something like that, would you have a job to come back to? I think people would be miffed, but I wouldn’t get fired over it.

Just request pto/vacation

Heck I'd go. I think it depends on people's careers. Most of us could probably make it work in insurance but other professions or jobs may definitely say nope not a chance.

I'd for sure go. I've got the PTO to burn, and we're not crazy busy right now to the point it'd cause problems. My boss probably wouldn't be thrilled about the last-second notice, but I still think the request would be approved.

There have been times when I could have given very short notice and taken off for a week and it probably wouldn't have been an issue. But not now! It's not just being busy at work. With everything going on the world the last thing I want is to make it look like I'm not taking the job seriously. When companies are thinking about layoffs it's not the time for impromptu fun in the sun.
