With all of the layoff news and things in the economy getting rough, does it make anyone else nervous to take PTO? Like, I don't want my manager to figure out he can live without me.

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.

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

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

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.
