    One of my tricks to extend vacation time on a PTO budget is to alternate the days between paid and unpaid, usually 3 days a week instead of the typical 5. 2 weeks can get extended to at least 3 by alternating. My approach is a hold over from working retail, where we had no PTO. The idea is that I wouldn’t be getting paid anyways, so I shore up the budget before vacation so the shortfall payday doesn’t create too much disruption

      An Interesting strategy. I’m too afraid to try that. Management tends to take out people gaming the system during layoff seasons. This is why we need Unions! Servitors rise up!
