When you request for PTO, how much detail do you disclose the reason? Or would you keep it simple and straightforward?

I don’t disclose a “reason” for PTO. You don’t need a reason. I put the dates I’ll be out on the team calendar, and I enter the dates in WorkDay for my manager to click “approve,” and that’s it. We don’t even talk about it.

Your manager shouldn’t care what you use your vacation for. The only reason to have an approval method is so that a manager can coordinate everyone’s time off and make sure there’s sufficient team coverage. It’s for logistics reasons. It’s not to approve your reason for taking it.

No details at all. There might be informal chat after like “have anything nice planned?” But not linked to accepting or rejecting pto request

No detail at all, I state the dates I need off. If they ask later I’ll share but not in the actual request.

It depends. If I would have the ability to jump on in the event of an issue, I’ll let my direct team know but not anyone else. Also, if I’m visiting family/something simple.

Depends how close I am with my boss…

I keep it simple in the actual request but I’m friends with my boss so usually we talk about our vacation plans throughout the year

I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

I don’t want the backlash of the community either since the area I teach in is really rural. Just sad I guess.

2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?

3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?

4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?
