Work-life balance isn't just about unplugging—sometimes it's strategically using PTO to catch that big NFL game (or Premier League match) without guilt.
Life's too short to miss your team in the playoffs because of a Monday meeting. Block the calendar, recharge with 3 downs and touchdowns, come back sharper.
Your boss might not get it, but your mental health (and fantasy league) will thank you. 🏈💼 #WorkLifeBalance #NFL #FootballFan"

I mean good for you on deciding to use your PT on the way that makes you happiest. There’s nothing I care less about than football so this wouldn’t be how I use my PTO. But I appreciate you gaming the system.

Pittsburgh Steeler fan here - would be happy to plan a sleep-in morning tomorrow and just flex my hours. But alas, I have kids, and they have school.

Sometimes I take PTO just to have a "rot" day where I do nothing. I literally sit around the house and do nothing at all and it is glorious. Sometimes you have to hit that reset button.

Love this. When I can, I take a couple days off in May when the kids are still in school. One to rot. One is to be productive.

I’m a new hire and currently the only creative on a team of developers. I’ve requested Figma—but IT has pushed back, asking for “detailed business justification… explaining it is beneficial or will assist in day-to-day tasks”.

Further context: our marketing dept currently uses Sketch. And my employer’s industry is insurance claims management.

Does anyone work in the healthcare industry here? I would love a referral for a Senior Data Scientist role or a Machine Learning Engineer role.
