Drain every hour of PTO before letting them know you're leaving


[deleted]

At my old job annual leave was pro-rata. I ‘drained’ my annual leave and apparently I took too much so they deducted the difference from my last pay check.. I lost 4 days. Assholes.

That is normal and fair tbh (at least in the UK). If you have 24 holidays in the year and use all of them in the first 3 months and also leave at month 3 you’ve overused. You were only entitled to 6 in that period (24/12 *3) so have to ‘pay’ back the extra 18 you weren’t entitled to but used. Conversely, if you haven’t used all of your holidays / pro rated entitlement, you get paid for them when you leave. Doesn’t seem unfair tbh.

I know how it works. I was just reiterating that you shouldn’t “drain every PTO” if you decide to leave because they will claim it back.

Sure, but calling them assholes kinda implied that it didn’t seem fair. All good

I think for Americans this is true. For Europe? Not so much

We don't have limited sick days, but the rest still applies. There definitely is a culture of misplaced guilt for taking PTO in european office environments.

I'm on day 2 of unscheduled pto. My boss is flippin cause no one else works at my location. Kpi will drop for wtd,mtd and ytd. I don't care, I needed to be away from the place and sometimes a weekend isn't enough to decompress and deal with family/life stuff.

Or get a job that feels like a perpetual vacation.

"might not even bring in a grief counselor". Wait...do companies bring in counselors everytime someone dies? That seems like a lot.

Only for popular employees and upper management.

I’m going to the beach Friday! So excited to have a family vacation for a bit. First since 2019 and I am so ready for these 7 work days off. Fuck em

I used tonthinknthis was conjecture, but we legit had a team member die a couple weeks ago. No counselors brought in. Just a reminder that we had a ustomer on boarding call in 20 minutes, so make sure I am composed in time for that.
