Navigating PTO Anxiety After a New Job
So, picture this: I landed a new job in early April, and during the interview, I was upfront about having two vacations already planned. Fast forward, and now I'm sweating bullets about asking for a few days off in June—just three days, but it feels like asking for the moon. Next week, I’m only taking two days, but the anxiety is real.
Why? My last boss made taking time off feel like a crime. Now, every PTO request feels like I’m walking on eggshells. I keep wondering, is it too soon? Will my new boss secretly hate me for this?
But hey, I’ve learned that honesty is the best policy. I just need to remind myself: I was clear from the start, and everyone deserves a break—even the new guy. Wish me luck! 😅🌴
