Stacked up about 7 days this year I've been unable to take.
Constantly doing things outside and above my job description getting severely underpaid.
Can't wait until I get a package to stage left exit this employer.

After last year of being denied a raise so other can get larger ones and a decreased bonus because I didn't take on a new account. Of course management assigns the accounts. I made sure I took as much time as possible.
This year it was about three hours of PWT, 0 Vacation, 0 Holiday. Also took advantage of the Educational reimbursement for the first time and maxed that. Oh, and five volunteer days.
My team's scheduling and PTO usage is governed by a scheduling software tool. We put in our requests and the tool approved or denies it based on staffing level vs. predicted call volume. I requested the 30th and 31st of this year on Jan. 6th (the first possible day to do the request) and it was denied. I usually lose around 6 days of PWT every year, this year I used their scheduling tool to look up days with very low staffing levels and called out on those days.
When I was a manager at Dell I never even kept track of vacation use and PTO. The work got done, I trusted my team, and as far as I know it was never abused. I didn't have time to babysit 6-10 professionals.
I spoke up a few times regarding pay and job responsibilities and it fell on deaf ears. I was grossly underpaid. I stayed for the health insurance and quiet quitted. It is all about favorites there with these managers.
I used all PTO and vacation. Took a few hours here and there since there were plenty of evening and morning calls about to go up into a long long week anyhow. I manager didn't mind, he knew I was getting it done
zero. I don't give them that opportunity.
I don't have a 1:1
I quietly quit before it was a term of art, 5 years ago. I've averaged about 10 hours a week the whole time. There have been some high demand weeks, but 10 hours is the average. You can hide out in a $100b company for years in a BS job. Just need the right lazy management and bad leadership to do it.
Zer0, I use PWT first and then vaca. Last vaca day is Dec-31. Feles like leaving money on the table not using all available time off.
What does you manager say when you present your capacity and demand summary in your monthly managing up 1:1s?
Stand up for yourself! Take your time off, and talk with your manager about your pay vs job duties. And if you don't like your current situation, find a better opportunity while you are still employed, heck even on Dell's time. You own your career and time, not your manager.
People like you are why the execs think they can get away with so much. Stand up for yourself and take the time off.
one day...and that will get used today.
about a week
None, I use all 7 weeks.
you guys track PTO?
None? Use it or lose it.
Just another broken promise
Absolutely none. I use it all every year, fk that!
