Taking “PTO” tomorrow. Except I’ve already worked 60 hours this week. So I told leadership I was taking PTO to escape for the weekend but really I’m just turning off my phone and alarms and staying in

Make sure you don’t actually charge PTO, save that for a true vacation my friend. No need to waste PTO when you hit over 40 hours by Thursday

I also use this sheet to also notate negative utilization or debt. So if I’m wrapping up a week and my hours are rolling over I will take an extra day or so. Or even just sign off early on multiple days.

Thanks for the update

Good for you

Save your PTO for real time off.

How do I ask for more vacation time? I’ve been at this firm 2 years and only get 10 vacation days a year. Days get increased in year 4 to 15 where they max out. I’m beyond burnt out because I don’t have the time I need to fully rehab my mental health. Any suggestions?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off?

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee. I am concerned that making this purchase may make me a little cash poor in the short term, but still manageable. Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
