Then you need to consider your life choices--if you want/need more PTO for leisure, do you decide to have children? Do you decide to be a caregiver for a parent? Or do you hire out those tasks? Do you ask your employer for more PTO and less salary as part of your compensation package? Do you find an employer who has more flexibility to accommodate your need for more PTO? Do you join in on lobbying the government and industries to adjust their work weeks/PTO requirements, etc?

If you're remote, then what does it matter if I work in my home office or if I'm at the park or at the beach? This is meant to scare employers to force workers to come back into the office so that commercial real estate doesn't collapse.

@RedShipsofSpainAgain 16 күн бұрын

Exactly, this is the real reason. CNBC and the corporate-backed media conglomerates are trying to scare employers into forcing employees to return to office so the stock price of the commercial real estate, which CNBC is has invested in, stops plummeting. Conflict of interest 101. It's a clever manipulation tactic, and we all see right through it. Sorry, commercial real estate: your prices and value have been heavily overinflated for years, and now it's toke for you to feel the burn as commercial real estate prices come back down to earth.

I had a remote job in CA, but I packed up and moved to Hawaii in 2012, never told HR, kept an address in CA on file. It was during a transition period at my company, so I told the new boss the move was approved by the old boss, he never bother checking. Everyone knew I was in Hawaii, except for HR, and no one bother checking with them to see if it was legit, they even flew me back when needed on the company dime. I got away with quiet vacationing full time until I changed jobs 5 years later.

In Japan, there is something called a "workation" (work vacation) which is just working remotely from a hotel or other place while traveling. It has become popular in the last few years after COVID started and more people started working remotely. I work remotely in Japan, and in my case, my company doesn't care where I am working from as long as I get my work done. In my opinion, that's how it should be. (obviously, not all jobs can be done remotely, and wifi is important for the majority of tasks that can be done remotely)

So stop trying to blame workers for trying to find balance in their life when we're being taken advantage of by greedy CEOs. Many of us don't trust the higher ups in our companies. We're treated as expendable. So unless its creating problems on an individual basis, lay off the people have to struggle to get by. (Btw, I'm grateful to have 2 jobs with none of these issues.

Unlimited PTO is a deceptive accounting practice used by employers to remove the PTO otherwise owed to employees from the liabilities on their financials to make them look stronger. Instead PTO is only deduced in the event that it is used by an employee AND this also leads employees to feeling pressured into using less PTO than what would initially be offered to them if it were a set amount.

I was able to spend time with family and see parts of the world as a local. The company I worked with at the time didn’t feel like I was missing.

A friend of my little sister, who is a gen Z was with us in a all included hotel in DR while all of us were enjoying the facilities, he was from 9 to 6 in the hotel room working full time. I think this is silly, it is much better to take some time off and really enjoy, especially when you are paying a lot for your stay

I have wifi issues at my home and I cannot log into a public network from my laptop so if I do this it's not a big deal. Plus i also sometimes travel for work so whatever

I am definitely taking my vacation. I have one set for October and one set for April.

I don't see anything wrong with this as long as they are staying productive and get their work done.

This news segment is missing a lot of key factors. I think it would have been better to have testimonies to complement what you are saying. Yeah, I expected a little more from this. It feels like someone produced the segment who doesn’t get or can’t quiet vacation.

News is just labeling anything these days. This is so stupid when most people cant afford a vacation. Also km sire your boss will notice you've been off work for a week without calling in

Here in PH, you can work from home but must be available 24/7. The downtime hours within your shift don't count. 😂

It’s a show of weakness when you don’t use your vacation and benefits. And they will exploit every weakness.

How is this vacationing if they are still working? Ridiculous.

If you are able to deliver your tasks well and on time, why does your boss need to know where you are working from?

Because the government requires it

I wonder how often the owners of these companies are on vacation because of the sacrifices their employees make? Who cares where they’re at if they’re getting the work done?

Ok, this only works for remote workers. This cannot happen for people who work at workplace buildings. So this is statically not correct for most of the US that does not work remotely.

I never use PTO for vacations. I only use it because im forced too. I work much at my W2 and I DoorDash on the side most days.

So do they still take paid vacations too or maybe let it expire , or get paid out for it?

I'm my case, I work remotely for a 3 months contract. So I flew to DC during cherry blossom festival on Friday night and work at 8am PST, which is 11am to 8pm DC time for a week.

This is all untrue. Most of us today are in strategic positions; allowing us to add counsel from anywhere in the world while doing anything. With most white collar jobs being mostly remote and many people often having access to properties around the country (sometimes internationally which brings a whole host of taxation issues and licensing), there really is no need to let anyone know anything. My job is to advise, to counsel, to provide insights and inputs into more efficient ways of doing things. Whether that's from France, Moab, Tuscany or my mountain cabin, no one really cares and neither should they.

I have the opposite problem. I have PTO time, but no money to travel. And yeah, it’s not vacation if you’re working.

There are many ways to take a cheap staycation. In CA, we can check out a free CA state park pass for a week and it's for a vehicle, you can load up to 4/5 people. Pack a few tuna cans, hotdogs in the cooler, and enjoy the state park. For state beach camping was $29.99/ night but reservation are fully booked for 6 months, so planning is required. A 2 person tent is approx $65. I was camping for 3 nights by the beach for that price . So check out your local state park pass to see something similar are available.
