Unlimited PTO: A Blessing or a Trap? 😅

So, I work at a tech startup in Austin, and we have this so-called 'unlimited PTO' policy. Sounds like a dream, right? But here's the catch: no one really knows how much time off is actually okay to take. Last year, I took about 10 days off, but every time I requested a day, I felt this invisible pressure—like my manager was silently judging me. Some of my coworkers barely take any time off at all, and I can't help but wonder if I'm being too bold or not bold enough. Honestly, it's stressing me out. Is there a secret rulebook I'm missing? How do you all navigate this without feeling guilty or risking your reputation? I’d love to hear your thoughts because I’m at a loss here! 🤔 #UnlimitedPTO #WorkplaceCulture #CareerAdvice #JobCareer

Why Do Good People Leave? The CEO Has No Clue

Ever switched jobs thinking it would be a step up, only to land in a pit of office politics and silent wars? That was me, moving from a giant tech firm to a promising mid-sized company, hoping for growth and real influence. Instead, I walked into a development team where hazing was a sport and humiliation was the daily special. Mentors sent us on errands just to laugh about it later, and seniors made us stand while they chatted, like some weird office ritual. The worst part? When a few of us became friends, management tried to break us up, spreading lies and calling it a joke when caught. The CEO? He’s in the dark, always asking why people leave, but only hearing what the managers want him to believe. It’s wild—he seems like a good guy, but the truth never reaches him. Positions are still open, and the cycle continues. Would you ever tell the CEO the real reason? 🤔😅 #WorkplaceCulture #OfficePolitics #CareerGrowth #JobCareer

Are My Coworkers Really My Family?

You know that moment when your boss says, "We're all family here"? Yeah, I used to roll my eyes too. But then I started to wonder—do I actually buy into this whole "work family" thing, or am I just playing along to keep the peace? At my last job in Austin, my manager threw a birthday party for me. Sweet, right? But when layoffs hit, those same "family" members barely looked me in the eye. Turns out, family means something different when paychecks are involved. Now, I keep my guard up—friendly, but not fooled. Do you ever feel like you’re acting in a sitcom you didn’t audition for? Let’s be real: coworkers can be great, but family? That’s a stretch. What’s your take? 🤔🍕 workplaceculture #officepolitics #careeradvice #workplaceculture #officepolitics #careeradvice #JobCareer
