This article is class war propaganda!

This is what the ceos think is happening so they print this to use as an example of why we need to come back to offices.

My coworker just sits in his desk on his phone. He’s quiet, I guess, but we all see it.

A majority, 78%, of U.S. workers say they don’t take all their PTO days, and it’s highest among Gen Z workers and millennials

Younger professionals say they don’t ask for time off because they feel pressure to meet deadlines and be productive

Another article sensationalizing the term "millennial" for clicks. Millennials are in their 40s now.

My man. The vast majority of millenials are in their 30's. Not 40's. I get it, time flies, we're old... but not THAT old.

My company doesn't pay out for unused PTO, so my boss will periodically (but more often towards the end of the year) tell us to use our vacation days if we still have some. He'll even call us and basically beg us to use them if we still have some in October.

I used to feel bad about calling out or taking PTO when I worked hospitality, because I knew that if I wasn't there, someone else had to fill in. Now I do warranty repairs for major PC manufacturers, so if I call out or take PTO, some clients might be annoyed, but I'm not inconveniencing any of my coworkers. It helps that my boss is awesome and encourages us to use it or call in if we don't feel well.

I have "unlimited PTO" at my office, which sounds nice, but what it effectively means is that you now have to police yourself, to determine whether or not you're taking off "too much." Which ends up meaning that the vast majority of employees take less PTO than they're entitled to (or if they were just given a set amount to take each year), because they're afraid of being seen as a slacker, or someone who is taking advantage of the PTO policy. Since there are no set guidelines, it means it's left up to you to decide how fearful of unemployment you are, and how much you let that influence your vacation days.

Out of "Unlimited PTO," I take about 7-10 days off a year 🙃

I had a job where we had an old fashioned paper office calendar. If we wanted to use PTO we simply wrote the days on the calendar. Our boss only wanted to know if multiple people from a workgroup were leaving on the same day or if it may cause issues (and he trusted us to figure that out). It was glorious.

My wife is only approved to take PTO once they find someone to work the shift. And they will not even try until the month before. We buy plane tickets 3-9 months out.

Maybe they're not nervous, maybe they know there's no point in asking for something they will never get in the corporate world of the 21st century.

Millennials, otherwise know as 28-43 year olds.

Having to ask for PTO — also known as “unlimited PTO” — is the the shittiest employment practice.

Every time a recruiter tells me a company offers “unlimited PTO” I ask if I can please have regular old finite-but-actually-yours PTO.

It's not just younger people. Asking to use my well earned time off was a chore, and I had to justify it! Like.. WHAT THE FUCK. I work 12-14 hours a day and you think I need to justify needing some time off?

Meantime, I'm looking for a new job.

“bosses keep trying to come up with new words for ‘not doing extra work for free’”

Boy I'm getting super sick of these, "Millennials are doing this ____ , gen Zers are ruining that ____ , boomers are mad about ____" articles. Having one less thing to divide us as people would be nice right about now.

I wonder when I'll be regarded as a person/adult.
