@fkamiah17 @sheepnik I am going to echo the need to save some amount for emergencies, or, for the unexpected self-care days that will come up. We are only half way through the year. I have so far taken a little less than 1/3 of my PTO so far. I have about half of what is left already scheduled for future days off. I still have left the rest in case I get sick, or, I just get to the point where I really need a day off. Hold on to some for the unexpected, even if you don't carry it over.

So a week ago today I had emergency surgery due to diverticulitis in the small intestine.
While is not uncommon it almost always occurs in the large intestine or colon where the body can auto-magically surround the problem area and prevent leakage/bursting. Not so in the small. If it pops, it's discharging directly into your abdomen.

Thanks to an amazing surgeon, after major unplanned abdominal surgery I literally just walked up the street to the neighbors, maybe 5-6 houses.

I'm not even taking advil.

Just mind boggling what good can do. I have good employer , and am entirely able to cover this.

Why the can't we get in the ?

The USA is a strange place to me. My job has now agreed an extra day's annual leave for all support staff (so, non-teachers). Which, including bank holidays, means I will now get 40 paid days off per year. The minimum in the UK is 28.

The USA doesn't, federally, have any legally required paid holiday. The average PTO is 10 days. Some states have some mandated PTO. It works out about 5 days in most cases.

Why does the USA hate its workers so much?

It's pretty satisfying to transition from the end of an exceptionally busy week right into PTO. 🌴

This weekend is a long weekend for me. And I find myself doing what I always do when my mind runs free: find a topic, find related topics, dive down those rabbit holes. I don't know where the journeys will take me, but I am fascinated by what I find.

Should unplanned days off, such as those caused by natural disasters, count against ?

My employer during Snowmageddon21 gave me a pass, but my current employer says that Icepocalypse23 counts. 😞

Look, those "all company days" sound great and all. There are benefits.

But at many companies, in many countries, employers DEDUCT those days from employee balances. That's often more than a week of PTO gone.

If you're going to close business for a day you shouldn't be picking employee pockets to do it.

With all of the shit people talk, it makes me feel like I'm the only person working in at a company where unlimited isn't a ruse to cheat people out of vacation. If you're getting your work done nobody cares how much you're off.

@gord @etnom @tojosan That’s why I advise employer clients to give a larger amount of and let employees use it for all purposes. Why have separate buckets of paid sick, bereavement, vacation, etc days off? Do you really want the hassle of policing whether it’s *really* one & not the other? Just call it all PTO. Generally the only time they may need to know details is when it may implicate leave under etc.

Remember a few weeks ago when announced they were introducing unlimited paid time off?

Now, they're laying off huge numbers of people.

@fmhilton Take a look at the trend toward "flexible time off". It's a way to short workers of their PTO and avoid that additional expense.

Question for people who work at — or especially run — companies with an unlimited PTO policy. What does it mean?

Could I take off every Friday and have a four day work week? Why not?

Could I do that and also take a two month ?

If the answer is that I can as long as my manager agrees and it’s not negatively affecting the team, isn’t the policy that I can take as much as my manager allows and no more?

I’d appreciate a boost in order to maybe get real answers on this.
