On paper I don’t seem to take much time off.
In reality I take a lot of time off, there’s days where I literally will just report at a standup meeting and then do nothing else, while I go off and do something fun. This is “lite” PTO. I don’t mind if I have to answer the occasional slack message to keep up the appearance of a busy person.
To me, reporting a day where I just don’t feel like doing anything as time off seems like a waste of a PTO day. I’d rather use official PTO for when I travel to some place far and will really be completely unavailable if anyone should try to reach me. This is “deep” PTO.
- zrail 4y agoYep, and I also have regularly scheduled real PTO. Every third Wednesday is a PTO day where I do personal projects or just watch TV or read a book. My company has unlimited PTO and I have no compunctions about using that to my advantage.
- xwdv 4y agoPretty cool but I don’t like to tip my hand and prefer to maintain the illusion of an impossibly hard worker.
