8 weeks. Haha man that’s like a pipe dream.

I think PTO works kind of the same in most places? My point is you can’t really force an employee to take PTO and if they ignore their PTO policy that should be on them.

If a business closes down for Xmas new years, then you’re but really taking PTO right? Workplace is closed. If you force PTO to be taken and most of your staff dragged their feet or didn’t read their email, then essentially you’re unable to operate for the last month of every year

They have a responsibility to let you know, yes. And they have to actually let you take it. Beyond that should be personal responsibility.

Here are my expectations and how I normally experience pto policy at work.

• HR has in writing company PTO policy. When and how to apply, how many per year, rollover policy.
• HR provides friendly reminders in email to use it or lose it and the deadline is coming up.
• HR provides a decent software system that tracks your PTO balance and history and is easy enough to use to request time off
• HR reminds managers to approve PTO unless there is some issue in which case HR should help handle

If a company does the above then the employee has no one to blame if their days are lost.

Maybe unpopular but I’m not of the opinion that a business should babysit a grown adult and monitor their PTO and make them take it.

How do you even imagine it? Can you force someone to take their PTO at any time? Or only when they will absolutely lose it? (End of year)

So a company will lose how many days at the end of each year trying to force their staff to take days off?

Telling you to use it or lose it is essentially forcing you.

Big companies are subject to constant audits. You, too, can check their balance sheets that are released and scrutinize the numbers.

While you may personally dislike MS products, most of the world’s businesses and governments run on them. That’s licensing money every month without fail. They can literally charge whatever they want because companies with staff want Office and Windows Server backend.

I think it’s misunderstood that the ending is the issue when it’s really_the execution_ that failed.

At the end of the day whatever the ending was going to be some people will hate it and others will nitpick the logic plot holes. However everyone got to where they were supposed to be in the story.

It was the terrible time jumps and sudden twists and deaths and poorly displaying it on screen that made the last season really disappointing.

Also the series had the unfortunate fate of peaking in season 4. Compared with Breaking Bad which had its best episode in the last season.

The missed pro tip: don’t believe everything you see on tv
