25-30 days.

I was aiming for 20 because thatā€™s how much I got from my last job. I might aim for a few more days now based you guys response! šŸ™

likeuplifting

a recruitment agency in the UK (called Unknown) just switched from unlimited PTO for their employees to 31 days, because they noticed employees took less holidays for fear of seeming greedy, peer pressure, etc. Studies confirm this is not exclusive to them.

Maybe it's time to give employees sincere concessions instead of this fake new work that's just more employer overreach in disguise.

Pre Covid w unlimited pto I was on track for like 50 days offā€¦. BUT! Some of those I was ā€œon callā€ just in case something popped up. I made sure all my work was done and my boss was cool with every single day I took

Iā€™ve been at my new job with ā€œunlimited PTOā€ for 9 months and havenā€™t had a single day off. I keep getting asked by management what I think my next project will be rather than when Iā€™m taking some well-deserved time off.

Worked at a place with unlimited PTO, but my request were always met with ā€œitā€™s not a good time, we donā€™t have coverageā€ so I ended up getting approved for one glorious day. Itā€™s really up to the culture not the policy. But Iā€™d set boundaries and expectations as soon as possible because itā€™s really hard to set them up later.

3 full weeks off and then a some days here and there for long weekends here and there

like

2 x 2-week vacations, plus sporadic days off here and there. Soā€¦ between 5 and 6 weeks. Not including sick days

like

Love taking a day off here or there to extend a weekend, then aim for a couple full weeks off for larger vacays. Donā€™t feel guilty for taking the time off. As long as thereā€™s communication you have every right to take it off, and your company should work with you to ensure you get those days.

like

Places I've worked at usually give me around 20 days PTO a year and statutory sick leave.

I know it's not unlimited, but decided to weigh in because I rarely take any time off at all despite having the opportunity.

Why do you think youā€™re so concerned by inconveniencing others? Do they think of you when taking their days off? Start small - take 3 day weekends, 4 days weekends. Do that every month. Go somewhere or binge Netflix. It doesnā€™t matter. Just enjoy not working. Fix it before you burn yourself out.

Not as many as I should, but thatā€™s on me. I aim to give myself at least 10.

Iā€™ll prob end up taking 20 total
