What would you love to tell the people you report to but can't or won't? I'd really like to say that my PTO days might as well not exist because I'm still expected to answer texts and emails even though I'm "not working."

THIS. this would be mine as well. It drives me insane that I an never just be off work. My boss will absolutely blow my phone up when I am on vacation and I feel like that is beause I haven't set good boundaries.

Ladies, think about the men we work with. Are they working while on PTO?
99% of things can wait till you get back. And many of those items will magically resolve themselves if you let others figure it out.

I do respond to important messages while on PTO but usually only to let them know I’ll do (whatever) when I get back. That usually stops the messages

Omg! Why would you mention the fact that they are men?

Are you sure it’s expected that you reply?

Perhaps your Autoresponder could say “call in case of emergency”.

I’d tell my “leadership” that they have no right being in position as they can’t lead. Just because someone is tech intelligent or good at sales doesn’t mean they deserve to be in a position impacting large groups of people.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?
