Says the guy who has Scrooge Mcduck as an avatar. Sure buddy.

Manager here: seriously, just take your PTO.

I don't think I agree with the second comment. I work in a team. If you just take it and leave them to handle your shit, you are an asshoke. If you say it in advance and sort your stuff, then do whatever you want

There's been a misunderstanding here. It seems like you are trying to share a balanced and nuanced opinion. That's a major faux pas around here, on the internet. Please find yourself an establishment where such vulgar language isn't frowned upon.

Isn't PTO supposed to be approved anyway?

[-] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Idk. I'm lucky enough that if I want PTO I can ask, and if I need it I can just notify my boss (I can literally enter his office and say "I need to take Friday for such and such" and he basically just goes "OK" and that is it)

Maximize the disruption so they know what'll happen of they fire you.

Then demand a raise.

Any company that can’t function without a team member to this degree is under staffed and poorly ran. You can’t hinge operations on any one talent. This Priv person has real work / life issues or is just a greedy boss.

Or ask for a massive raise, and take the PTO anyway.

Managers are wierdly cranky when it's time to manage.

[-] ToxicWaste@lemmy.cafe 6 points 4 days ago

what in the world is PTO? best guess from context is holidays. but why would anyone make it a 3 letter acronym? i am sure any 3 letter acronym has at least 3 different meanings in different contexts...

but if PTO actually is holidays, yes take them. don't let some third world country grifters, like you find them often in the usa, redefine words and take away basic things - just because they call it slightly different.

Companies are rolling vacation time and sick time into one block called “Paid Time Off” make themselves look better.

My job literally forces me to take all my leave by end of FY unless I have a very good reason.
