Work Days #2~ Take Your PTO

TGIF!

Yay it is Friday.

I hope you have had a good week.

It’s year end so lets talk about PTO:

How much PTO do you have left for the year

Can you carry it over to next year

Why are you holding onto that PTO

My first few years in the work force at a job that paid good and gave a nice amount of PTO I was a PTO hoarder, yeah I was not using my full brain. I had an obsession with carrying over time. Why I have no idea I guess I just liked seeing all those banked up hours of time off sitting there waiting to be used.

Now that I am more experienced and have been in the work force I tell people all the time “TAKE YOUR PTO” and yes I meant to type that in CAPS.

Save a some hours to carry over but take your time in the current year and enjoy your time off. Taking your PTO is good for your mental wellness, your social life, your overall well being.

Take your PTO even if you are not planning on going anywhere. You work hard and you need to take your PTO.

Enjoy your weekend and check your PTO hours before you sign off today!
