One of my managers encouraged our team to take at least 20 days off a year (5 per quarter) which has felt fair. I take ~25 and haven’t had a problem.
To be honest, anyone who works for a company that offer unlimited PTO should take full advantage of it and shoot for around 40+ days. Seriously. It’s UNLIMITED. FYI companies don’t offer unlimited PTO to be nice, they offer it because it allows them to save money by not having to pay out people for their unused earned PTO days when they leave. It’s pretty much a scam because since you don’t technically earn any PTO days, people feel uneasy about asking for the time off. So go for it! Hell, why not shoot for 50 days!!!
That is exactly why! Was recently laid off from an "unlimited PTO" agency and didn't get paid out for any PTO days for 2024.
My small team manages an internal excel tracker that is based on the pre-unlimited PTO structure. You're encouraged to take the maximum. I'm not sure what would happen if you tried to take more.
I’m shooting for 30 tbh
Maybe reach out to HR to see what they think it acceptable because 2 days a month doesn’t sound like too much to me.
As many as you can. If I have my manager hat on - a rested team is a productive team.
I’ve taken 6-8 weeks before. You just need to plan it right so it doesn’t seem like so much. 24 is doable!
People at mediahub will take 30+ days. And also take summer Fridays.
Shoot for the stars but 24 seems high for an Asst Planner. That’s 5 weeks vacation a year out of college. Like others have said, go for it. A reasonable range is 18-32 depending on seniority before eyebrows raise. Understand that your manager may only be taking 20, so will have pause you “have” more vacation than them. Read the room.
Oh I’m actually not an assistant anymore but didn’t want to update fishbowl lol
