PTO is never a "request" for me. It's a statement. It's a "Hey, I am unavailable during these days." Obviosuly within reasonable notice.

When i put in for time off, it is not a PTO “request” it is a PTO notification. I am telling you i will not be here on those days.

Genuine question: why is it always the same argument? “We’re short staffed”

If I have to follow up on PTO, you're not doing your job properly.

Going forward, send an email the minute you submit the request in the system. And then addition email follow ups EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. after until it is approved. Give them exactly what they ask for.

I’m so glad my supervisor just says “put it on the group calendar and tell me so I don’t text you on your day/s off”. Granted, I’m not in a job that needs full coverage if I’m out, and our auto emails tell the person who to call if they need an immediate answer.

I do not deny PTO requests period. Even if last minute, then I just think of it like someone is sick. It is my job as a leader to make sure my team is NOT short staffed! If I ever have a concern I will call and talk with them, explain the concern, and then it is still there call if they work or not. They get the PTO when they want it. Adults adulting!

Same boss when the employee checks on for the second time in one week, "Geeze, stop trying to micromanage me. I'm YOUR manager, and I'll get to it when I can. I'm very busy, but if you don't get off my back I'll fire you ..." or something like that.

"You have to put in PTO at least 2 weeks ahead of time"
*leaves PTO request unread for over two weeks*
"Damn looks like they didn't put it in withhin two weeks"
...

my company's PTO system auto-approves and then I just let my boss/team know I won't be in
