[quote=Anonymous]I'm in operations for a B2B company. Been there 15 years. 25 days PTO from years 10-14, 30 days PTO at 15+ years. Plus 11 holidays.

None of it rolls over. They went to an "unlimited" PTO system several years ago so they wouldn't have to pay out and allow roll overs. That slowly morphed to "unlimited with suggested guidelines up to" the amounts we previously accrued. Now they don't even mention unlimited anymore, it is just untracked up to those maximums. Total scam but whatever.

It is really hard to take that much. I'm at 25 days this year, and our fiscal (and PTO) year runs Sept - August. I decided to start tracking it because I was feeling burnt out and realized I wasn't taking enough PTO.

I have a week of vacation in July and a Friday in August, but then I realized I still had 7 more days to use. I decided to take every Friday off for the rest of the summer, which is much less of an inconvenience to my team than me taking another week. No meetings on Fridays. And my boss still looked annoyed. Sorry dude I didn't travel during the height of the pandemic (while he was going on international vacations last December). But I'm taking every single one of my days, it is part of my compensation.

Next year I am going to try to be better spacing it out, but I reminded him that means a full week every other month in addition to holidays. [/quote]
