@thecorporatescapee: When taking PTO feels like punishment and you can’t even enjoy your time off from work. #corporate #workplace #relateable #truth #corporatehumor
or a supervisor asking 1000 questions on why you need mf sick day a month in advance for a Dr appt!

I don't avoid PTO. I take a couple of days every month so I can have long weekends and short work weeks

I have a simple plan for that. When I get back I delete everything in my inbox. Either the person that needed something will have figured it out, was important enough that they went to another co-worker, or will circle back to it.

I tell the people who work for me. TAKE YOUR PTO ITS PART OF YOUR COMPENSATION PACKAGE. I cover for them when they are off. We all need time off

Kelly Jo :
I still have a lot of pto because even though my company says "We want you to use those hours" and "Everyone needs breaks so we dont burn out" then they turn around and start making me feel guilty for taking the time off. I'm planning for 2 weeks after the new year and I'm blocking everyone in that company 🤣

That is exactly what happens to me EVERY. DANG. TIME! I bust my butt to cover for other people, but its not reciprocated. My manager told me I could work OT to get caught up. 🤬😡

Yea, well if HR let us get rid of poor performers we could have a better depth chart to implement actual back up plans. But you can’t, so we are stuck scrambling.

At my job, we don’t want to burden the person covering, with our workload on top of their own

Honestly that’s so true. I’m salary and I work so much so when I take extra time I’m really just using up “comp time” not even vacation days and I come back to 100 emails 😵

Shezafaith :
Yup. Kinda wish they would just pay out what we don’t use at the need of the year. I’m tired of losing it because I didn’t use it and if I use it I work as many hours before and after as I took, extra to get ready and catch up.
