Book recommendations for a vacation?
Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

nope. im taking time off every time i can. lol. not a single care.
This!! Take the time you deserve. You earned it and it’s apart of your total rewards package
Im far more nervous that I’ll stop accruing time if I don’t take it.
Layoffs are barely a blip on my mind because they’re going to happen whether I take vacation or not.
Same but I'm nervous to take medical leave.
Life will continue before and after PTO. I do not worry like that. I manage what is in my control.
I actually keep it banked in case I need the payout if I get laid off. In California...we don't lose it if we don't use it.
Nope, not at all. It's Part of Your Compensation, PTO is not a gift; it is part of your salary, similar to health insurance.
How to Take Time Off Without Worry:
Plan Ahead: Create a short, written coverage plan for your colleagues to manage your responsibilities, preventing a massive backlog upon your return.
Communicate Clearly: Inform your manager well in advance to alleviate concerns about coverage.
Focus on Output: Frame your time off as a "recharge" period that will allow you to return with higher energy to tackle upcoming projects.
Is your company going through difficulties right now, any rumors about layoffs coming in the next few weeks or couple months?
Taking PTO shows them how awful it is when you're not there lol
