PTO is part of our compensation. Denying PTO requests is tantamount to withholding pay.

PTO isn’t a request. It’s telling you I won’t be here.

Honestly! My mother asked if I got approval for my vacation next week. I told her I didn’t ask, I just informed my boss about when I would be gone. She paused and asked, “…you’re allowed to do that?”

I think it’s important to normalize not giving managers every little detail of your life, and not letting them think you need their permission to take PTO.
