Nope, not in WA. Left a job with 3 months of PTO due to 80-90hr work weeks. Never saw a bit of it but was still the right call in the long run.

- seattle_spring 8y agoThis statement is absolutely bonkers to me. I've never had more than 2 weeks accrued, and often go into the negatives. I would go postal if I took so little vacation that I was able to accrue 3 months worth. I'd have to have, and I'm not exaggerating, a million dollar salary to forego vacation like that.
- vvanders 8y agoOh yeah, don't mistake my glib tone I experienced major burnout and won't touch that subset of the industry with a 10ft pole. When you're working 6-7 days a week at 80 hours+ there's really not room for any vacation.
- magduf 8y agoDifferent people are different. I have a coworker who has some ridiculous amount of PTO like that accrued. He just doesn't care that much about taking vacations for some odd reason, and likes to go to work and be "productive". I'm with you; I don't let that much PTO accrue, as I need time off.
