Sometimes I’ve heard people say they have anxiety of their work load they’ll come back to that builds up, they can’t relax on vacation
My words exactly. I used to work as a nurse and had so much time to spend with my family. Now I worked as a NP and barely have anytime to spend with my kids. I’m gonna quit the job soon. Life is too short. I’ve gained so much weight sitting behind a desk.
This is 100% true. Nobody covers my work, so if I take a week off I just come back to a mountain of emails and loads of people furious that I haven't done X, Y or Z while I have been away. This is not a good way to live.
Yep there it is
Right there workload expectations are increasing and rediculous.
Someone finally said it loud. They think we overreact when we talk like this. But its true. You come back to pack desk and same deadline to meet.
I refuse to give in to this culture in the US of hustle, constant grind and being available 24/7 for your job.
I get 4 weeks off a year and take every single day off. My husband and I travel abroad and I am not sacrificing my mental sanity and time off for no job. My laptop and work phone stay home. If I am THAT important that I can’t take proper time off, then I am not making enough money and I need a raise 😂
Remember folks: companies will fire you and lay you off in 2.5 seconds and they won’t give a damn.
I always take my vacations. I believe vacations are so important for mental health but in the company I work it's almost like they look down on you for taking you earned paid time off. To the point that I've seen people lose their pto because of that and for the company that's great because they don't pay for unused pto.
Absolutely. I kept telling my co-workers take your breaks. They all laughed. They know I am right now after we got laid off, ha ha.
you're also a woman always have the bf/hubby safety net. truth
Note I agree with everything you're saying but generally doods have less margin to say "take your job and shove it".
@@fullmetalscotsman1306That is probably why you were laid off - you had a bad influence on the “work ethic”.
Not that I disagree with what you said.
I used to be afraid of taking time off because of coming back to all my work piled up, but now I just let it be and say hey if it builds up I’ll just come back and do what I can. I only have so many hours to do work and I’ll do what I can during those hours. If I can’t do it all then oh well that’s my employers fault and not mine.
Me too. It's worth it. I worked for years without taking any vacation. After the third year of losing over 40 hours of PTO, I decided to just take it & deal with the pile up.
People can't afford to go anywhere anyways...
this is the reason
I took august off this year going to the shore for a week then camping then on a cruise end of august 7 days
I take the option to cash out on my personal time off. Helps pay the bills.
This is the real reason.
Bidenomics....
Who else has to use their PTO time to be sick or for Dr Appts?
I use my vacation days for errands, dr appts and personal days🥹
My PTO overflows, and if I don't take it it goes away, so mostly I just take off Mondays. This means I don't just vanish at work, I'm always around. I'm super-careful about getting sick, so mostly I don't get sick (haven't even had a cold since 2017 or so, but you never know)
Or for sick kids, teacher workdays, snow.days,taking elderly parent to.the doctor.....
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life .
The key to financial stability is having the right investment suggestions for a diverse portfolio. Many investment failures and losses happen when you invest without proper guidance
I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Stacey Macken, has been an amazing experience.
You trade with Stacey Macken too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
Honestly, I'm surprised that this mrs Stacey Macken is mentioned here, came across a testimony about her from one of the beneficiaries on the CNBC news, she seems to be doing extremely well....
I am also grateful to Stacey, though I started with as low as $1,500 actually because it was my first time and it was successful. She's a great personality in the state...
I am self-employed and can take as much time off as I want, I just have to make up for it later by working extra. But the thing is, every time I go on trips anymore I am disappointed. Hotels or other accommodations are wildly overpriced. These days, restaurants are also expensive and rarely satisfying experiences, and overall travel is just a headache. Part of the problem is that I have done so much traveling in my life that I’m not as thrilled by going places as I used to be.
You are so right. I find that being home and staying close to it are the best “vacations”. Visiting family is good, but I make it clear I have ZERO agenda, no requirement to make plans to keep us “busy”. Enjoy their company and catch up. Prepare food together. Nap, lounge around. With elderly family maybe help with small repairs or projects they have a hard time doing themselves. Feel so much less stress, more satisfied and less disappointment when its over…plus generally less expensive. Less really can be more when it comes to vacations.
@@whetwilly1 I swear that's so me too!! I love simple vacations and things close to home, my dream trip is actually to travel to Japan for a few weeks though but that's looong off as I have debts to kill and money to save before then. I love going to the beach a few times a year, nice parks to relax in and walk through, and spending time with family and friends. Traveling is truly stressful at times and hotel prices are definitely out of hand in some areas.
@@TheSoulCrisis 💯
@@whetwilly1 💯
@@TheSoulCrisisI hope you get to go soon. I got to go to Japan this past March for two weeks and it was incredible.
I definitely don’t want to fly anywhere right now. I feel like there is something crazy every week with a Boeing plan.
Shit like this makes me super nervous..... xD
That’s another thing. Something very wrong with Boeing right now.. like sabotage of the airlines
Plenty of places to relax closer to home if you look. It will make for a cheaper vacation too. Wood is cheap now so you could stay home and build something nice in your backyard if you want. I built a patio cover recently and it is nice to have, better than vacation photos I don't look at and vacation bills I have to stress over.
Even if i don't have the money for a vacation, im taking it. If it means me going to the park or free local activities, im taking it. Vacation does not mean you have to spend money. You need this reset.
For some shift workers they do not get compensated their shift and/or weekend differentials so they do lose pay taking them
Yep, taking PTO time is a pain. Gotta coordinate between other peers, job demands, etc. Seriously though -we NEED to take time away from work. Its good for our mental health.
You get back to work Donna! - your boss.
Funny, if your employer fires you or God forbid, you DIE, they would have no trouble adjusting. Your position would either be posted or distributed to your coworkers within 24 hours of your departure. The belief that you have to jump through all these hoops is proof you've fallen for the Okey doke. PTO stands for Prepare The Others and never ASK for time off.❤
We had a rare situation.... I worked at a small rural hospital, very small. Day shift required 3 nurses on staff, 1 RN and 2 LPN's. Night shift, we would skate by with 1 RN, 1 LPN, and 1 on-call nurse, EMT or Aid. This was under the premise that it takes 3 people to run a code. 1 to do compressions, 1 to do breathing and one to call for help. My last 6 months or so there we weren't allowed to take time off because so many nurses had quit that there weren't enough of us to cover the basic staffing needs. Long story short, after 100 some years of operation in the community, this hospital closed. No surprise, but boy does the community suffer for lack of health care now. Most folks now travel over an hour to see a basic doctor now.
All because they wouldn't hire a decent sized staff, they closed. Shameful. 😢
@@savedbyjesus2000 Oh there were other things going on too. The hospital had been sold and resold a number of times in the last ten years. The last owner embezzled away the last of the communities few remaining resources. He got away. His American companies did pay huge fines, but of course all that money was pocket change to him.
@@savedbyjesus2000It’s probably not that they wouldn’t hire more people. It’s because local, small hospitals pay a lot less and have less benefits. Why would I work there when I can make a lot more at a city hospital? We have nurses who live an hour away but they drive it because they still make more money even with higher travel cost.
Wow that is so sad. I feel bad for that community and shame on that owner.
I get 25 days off in a row this July!!! Holiday July 4-5, 2 weeks PTO and company wide week off!!! Going to Daytona Beach for 30th high school class reunion and visit family. Then spending at least a week at Walt Disney World. Saving money booking free hotel nights with rewards points. Walt Disney World already paid with an annual pass purchased August 1st last year.
Sounds fun!
@@daphblue Oh Boy!!!
So awesome having a fun experience to look forward to! Don't forget to enjoy the anticipation as well!
You don't want to go to Florida in July
@@blaiseducdaumont1280 unfortunately I don't have much choice between when my 30th high school class reunion is on July 13th 14th, then my company-wide break is starting July 22nd, 2 weeks of PTO before that and my annual pass to Walt Disney World expiring July 31st.
I’m unionized and I get a month off a year. I take the entire month. My supervisors hate it a look at me as if I’m robbing them. I could care less. That’s is one of the benefits of being debt free. It’s part of my union contract and I do not have to work OT or worry of losing commission that month.
Amen 🙏
I take all my time off and encourage my team to do the same.
Great if you can afford to go somewhere on vacation. Many of us cant.
Our reason is, after a year of traveling, we have found that there are WAY TOO many people-but worse yet, they don't know how to behave in large groups. The level if rudeness and ignorance is astounding. Feral children are a BIG problem, even in adult settings. We're limiting the kind of travel we're doing.
I don't get enough time to take off without thinking I may need it in the future for harder times
I invested in real estate, my life is a vacation.
Nice!
I started my own business to be able to have more freedom to plan my own schedule. I no longer have issues having to ask the boss for vacation. I always had a bad feeling about my next raise and such after asking for vacation. The boss would always looked bummed out and made me feel bad for asking.
$10,000 for a family flight ✈️ just as likely to fall out of the air than not?!? No, thanks!
I'm 37 and took my first day off two Saturdays ago. I didn't do very good, i spent most the day sleeping or thinking about what i need to be doing next. I'll get better at it. Want to plan two trips soon. One with my daughters and one solo.
Me on vacation while reading this title 👁️👄👁️
I always take my time off, all of it. I space it out and plan it well, so none of my work is suffering. I learned that from early in my career. Life is too short and we need the break. I am a high income earner.
This new generation saw their parents picking up the slack for fired employees, on call 24/7, no extra pay, no time w family. And they call bs. They are taking time, leaving at 5, and living their wage.
I have worked several toxic corporate jobs. You are entitled to two weeks vacation. When you say you will be gone for two weeks the managers start threatening you. That is why I started my own business. Now I take two weeks every year.
Im sitting in the Outer Banks right now. There are plenty of people here. Personally, I don't like vacations because they are usually more work than work. Wife and family wants to go places. My wife and I have never flown on an airplane together in 34 years of marriage.
I just spent $137 at a best Western in tulsa oklahoma....inflation is out of control!!
It is not fear or margin. Higher income workers have more stuff to do! And they have more ownership of the tasks they have to do. And then you have more work to do when you get back.
People assume you die in peace, you don't....... you suffer as your body fails you...... maybe weeks, maybe months, maybe years. There's a tradition in our buddhist household where we are told from generation to generation, you begin to die from your feet upwards and I've watched it happen to my grandma and dad. You lose your feet and legs first. Some of us will suffer from cheyne stoking from death, a pretty regular occurence but for some terrifying..... Most of us who will be given long life will die from most likely four deaths....... look up Peter Attia about that!! So it's coming. When you witness a lot of death and dying..... the one thing that doesn't come across is the message "hey, I committed to work and I have no regrets I didn't take the holidays with my loved ones",. At your funeral, non of the CEO's or even work colleagues show up. Also..... if you didn't spend sufficient time building love between your loved one's, remember you will create estrangement. They will visit you less and less as you didn't invest the time to build a relationship. So you become a familial person...... not family. They will visit you less and less as you will remind them of old age breakdown and death. You become a creepy symbol of our inevitable ending. But please.... always remember....... your job needs you now!!!
And sometimes there isn’t redundant coverage where anybody else can do your job, or at least at the price the company is willing to pay for.
This is one of the reasons I LOVE working for myself. I never have to ask for time off or fill in a holiday form.
My company is generously giving me a 6 week paid sabbatical next year for my 20th anniversary in addition to my vacation time. Definitely going to take it all, even if I stay local will find something to do. Probably burn over 1k in gas in my jet ski those weeks.
Vacation?? What is that? I'm 47 and only been on vacation a handful of times and regretted it when I came back to work.
You are making excuses.
@Gottaknow making excuses.. sadly, I wish I was. But the facts are the facts. I can count the amount of vacations I have had on one hand. Either I didn't get paid for it or had to cut it short for the same reason. This is not self-employment, but actually corporate America.
i go on vacation twice a year but the money-groveling airlines are testing my enthusiasm. got us packed in like sardines, upcharging us at every turn, forcing us to sit away from other members of our group, wanting $80 to check a single bag and after all that, can't even float us peanuts/soda anymore
I’m glad you this up. I worked for a toxic, tyrant boss for 20+ years. I was so afraid to take a vacation. One she would make a stinker about and become verbally abusive. When I get back from vacay she would praised me and say how do you do it?! Anyways, I should’ve left years ago and work for McDonald’s etc. Don’t be like me. Call Abusers out and do better.
I got a new job Tuesday to Friday.
Its a game changer for my peace of mind.. i think ill take a tuesday or a friday off when i need a break.
I do work more than 10 hours a day.
I take all the time off I accrue/earn. I don't always go places, but I take it. Hiking, biking, kayaking, whatever.
And fyi... when you don't take the time off you accrued, then you are basically giving your employer free time.
In some states they have to cash you out for unused vacation time. Considering layoffs are now a constant, you need that money to tide you over while you look for your next job. Nothing psychological about it!
It sucks to take a vacation in my role. I have to work my butt off to catch up enough to take the time off and then work my butt off again to catch up from being gone. Not worth it.
I get 4 weeks paid vacation every year. I decided to take the entire month of June off this time. 11 days in so far. Next year I get an additional week, totaling 5 vacation weeks.
I'm just an hourly employee with a job that doesn't stack up. I have work assigned for the day, I get it done, I go home.
My difficulty comes with enjoying my time off work, because i genuinely love my career and don't mind working through my vacations.
Many employers frown on more than 3 days off at a time.
I don’t need more than 3 weeks vacay a year, but I do need some flexibility to take longer lunches or work longer Tuesday to take the kids to doctor or dentist on Wednesday… I also wish I could accumulate vacation time so I could take the kids to see family abroad every 2 or 3 yrs for more than a week… They’re still too little to be left there for a whole month like my cousins do… Their children grew up trilingual spending summers in Europe and South America and it’s a lot cheaper! Ironically… 😅
While reading this, I am on a staycation. I had planned to be away for a few days, but I came across an opportunity to go with a group for one day, and it was less expensive. The weather was great that day. On the days I was planning to go, the area got hit with the remnants of Beryl, which caused three inches of rain.
Mobile phones and laptop web connectivity might be two reasons people might go on vacation, but stay connected and working and not booking vacation. Taking a vacation payout instead. During my working life I much preferred to stay connected while taking a break to travel. It was no vacation to come back after work and find you’ve lost business due to actions not taken.
Yeah. Honeslty travel is work anyways. Maybe im an outlier but travel was cool when i didnt have to do much for it to happen. If i gotta plan it pack bags and everything involved kinda sounds like work. And it has a price. One that continues to increase.
I work at a tier 1 defense contractor. My duty to this country is my sole responsibility and takes priority over any personal wants. Haven't taken a day off in 4 years and I'm okay with that.
Moms are using vacation days to take the kids to the doctor and dentist. Then we take days for awards at school. We take days to take our elderly parents to the doctor and for test.
Then when we do have free time, we don't want to be price gouged in the name of a vacation.
Its not my boss who would say no Ken....but my wife 😂😂😂
AKA your "real" boss.
I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 and came to work in the USA 🇺🇸 I always take and took vacation often 14 days off In one go like I would do in Europe . Still been promoted multiple times, it’s definitely a mindset. I’ve now seen many of my co workers now take lots of time off.
OK Ken i’m sorry I’m lost. Maybe it’s just me. I have a small business in Charlotte. I go out I service my customers who are mostly corporate or high-end home. I have a niche service. I make my own schedule. I show up when I want to I sleep when I want to I eat and drink when I want to. That’s it. I don’t have any worries. I have lots of good customers with lots and lots of money and they pay me and I don’t have to worry. Now, I’m getting older and I’ve done this long long time. I still enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun service I provide to my customers. But, at 66 years old I’m thinking about moving on and that’s gonna be just fine. The great ride I’ve had with all these customers down through the decades, the next ride is going to be just fine and fulfilling. I really don’t know what else to say , I’m a very happy man.
My work encourages vacation days, i get 6 weeks a year. I have next week off. I usually travel but instead I’m spending it mostly at home to work on the yard… i will take my dog to the coast for a couple of beach days
You always pay for it with working harder and longer hours before or after. Then they contact you with questions during. It’s never an actual break from work.
I am a software engineer with a senior status. My company changed my PTO from flexible(unlimited) PTO to 12 vacation days 3 mental health days and 5 sick days. In my prior years I was taking 18-22 days of vacation a year so I just lost quite a bit due to corporate mayhem.
You get sick days? I am a Nurse and we get 0 paid sick days. I've had at least 3 weeks of unpaid leave catching covid from my job.
@@MultiAnne36 yes that’s fucked. But to be honest the sick days (require doctors note) are hugely insulting saying that like a 2nd grader I need to prove I was sick.
It’s a pain to take PTO and then have all the extra work coming back. Also, just asking for time off can be a pain. But despite this, I’ll be taking three weeks off next year to go to Asia and a couple to go to South America. Also, If my employer lets me, which I doubt, I’ll go to Europe for almost two weeks next year. It’s all worth the workload I have coming back! Last year I used up all my PTO and was in the negatives. So this year I’m building my PTO back up and will only take one week off. I envy people with unused PTO!!!
I am most likely going to quit my job in December just so I can take a vacation to Florida. They force us to use vacation days on days where they call us off for weather (I’m a delivery driver)
Went to Colombia(Medellin)🇨🇴 a month ago for a week. Colombia is cheap cheap, it's beautiful and the people are amazing ❤. Life is short to give it to a company that will replace you in a swift. I proudly take my time off and, spend time with my kid and nephews 🧳✈️⛱️🌊🐚
I love vacations. Heading out for one next week in fact!
I don’t take all the time off. I didn’t take all my time last year on my last annual cycle. I know my parents don’t either. They’re always complaining about not being able to roll over enough days cause you only take whatever.
That’s because they give “unlimited PTO”. You have to request it from your supervisor and they don’t want to take too much, look bad to the boss, and be fired or not promoted. This is why I thank God I’m in a union.
Going through Atlanta IS going through hell.
Yo Ken, I am loving the messy hair, glasses, and overall dapper look! 🤘🏽😎
Self employed, 3 weeks off in February, a week in August and several 4 day weekends.
I think a factor too is people not wanting the free time and intersection that could come with not being loaded down with a lot of work.
Vacations are in the thousands these days without blinking
It’s costing me around 6-7k for a 6 day myrtle beach vacation at the end of August. Yes 6-7k to goto the red neck Rivera lol. This is Out of control.
What’s the fear on the low end? Those jobs are a dime a dozen. It’s a lot harder to replace a high income job.
Living in New York all my life and he says worst place to start a career lol I’m crying lol 😂
I used to go vacation at the beach. Then I had a great idea. I just moved there. Now everyday is a vacation.
When people go on “vacation” they are more stressed their than when they came back to actual work. Even on “vacation “ they are doing WORK for their WORK!!!!
Vacations and short weekend trips are so important for our family. Fortunately we can still afford it. I work at school so I have all the school breaks including the 2 summer months off. My husband is also fortunate that he’s off on the weekends and holidays, and gets a 3 day weekend twice a month. We’re in the U.S. but he works for a large British corporation that values work-life balance and gives their employees every other Friday off. He also has a 3 week PTO and we go on a big vacation once a year and short weekend trips once a month. Our kids just don’t realize how lucky they are to have this opportunity bc my husband and I did not growing up.
If there is an ability to cash out time off, I see many higher incomes cashing out PTO as it it a financially reasonable means to increase income (for those who are granted a lot of time off). There may be a correlation to call-in usage as well, for available vacation time
Or you take time off and when you come back, you find out your job has been given to another person. You are not fired but told you might not get the same number of hours and would answer to the new person who now got your job. Not kidding, happened to me. I was there for many years but new management means new corp. culture.
I am thankful that when the kids were little, our small manfacturing business had enough employees, 6 to 10, and was doing well enough for us to take some nice camping trips. We were down to 2 people in the middle of covid, but they both decided to move on. One of them could do everything but he wasnt happy he had to work when he saw how people all over were paid to not work. We thought keeping his job was a positive.
We are in our mid 60s and did it all ourselves until this past December. But our 1 full time guy is just a button pusher so we had to shut down a day to go to an out of state wedding. We have a couple part timers. Second job for one who is the full timers sister and a retiree who doesnt want to mess up his SS.
"Why no one can take a vacation anymore"
I fixed it for you.
You guys have literally been screaming at me to pay off debt. No vacations
Ken, please educate yourself on essential oils and the mlm aspect! Lots of videos on UA-cam. Hannah Alonzo has good ones.
I do not have much money for vacation going fishing and biking . That my fun
I would look at travel advertisements that were "on sale". Usually they were last minute things that were bundled but did not sell good enough. They were frequently 4 or 5 day trips that did not even take a week. I brought my entire family with me typically for the price of one person. We bought food at market's rather than eat out. We walked or took busses instead of talking a taxi. This way I have my child a broad view of the world, China, Japan, us, Canada, Australia, Europe, central America, etc... you can do great vacations cheap or at least alot cheaper.
Companies make you feel that the vacation time you are owed is a bonus now. They want you there all the time.
Atypical situation for me, I've been with the same company for almost 22 years and I have 34 PTO days a year. Almost impossible to take all that and get projects done.
Short staffing is causing core employees not to take time off.
1) people can’t afford it
2) employers are making it harder to use your PTO
3) some jobs barely offer any
Want and can are two completely different things for many
I’m a physician i have unlimited pto, which i approve for myself and I don’t take time off i think i went 11 months without a vacation, i just come back to more work and the vacation becomes nullified
Yeah if I step away even on a day off I am like....How many emails or what do I need to do it never ends it's in my mind right now there is no real vacation for me and yes I have had to log in on my vacation days non stop it sucks!
I work for myself. I’m off every day of the year.
Weird campgrounds have never been more full. Hell most of the places we want to go we have to book 6 months to a year out
A lot of people can not afford to take a vacation inflation is so bad people have to make hard decisions on what they buy at the grocery stores I know a lot of people that volunteer at our local food bank they had to start doing it at our fairgrounds because of so many people that needed basic food
Vacation does not have to be spendy. Make it meaningful for you or your family
I typically don’t take all my vacation time because it is too expensive. I won’t take a vacation day just to sit at home because that is boring. And it cost a ton of money to take a vacation so typically I just don’t go on more than one year.
You are doing it wrong. I go on several vacations every year!
You need a hobby.
@@Gottaknow once we are empty nesters that will be the plan.
Staycation. Plan fun things to do in the local area.
200 for a jet ski for an hour this year….im good on that.
Middle and lower income earners use their vacation time to things that they dont have time to do.
Ya, sales people who need commisions. Might not, but full timers with paid vacations take it off.
Its called a stay home vacation.
My work piles up when I take time off. Plus it’s just too expensive for a family, hotels, airfare, food, etc. I have plenty of PTO, but prefer to do a staycation.
I’ve been going on a bunch of vacations this past year. Was able to use a timeshare for free, been flying for free (due to previous flight vouchers $3100 free),
I want to take a vacation after working for over 30 years and I cannot afford it. !!!! Your headline title suvks
Yeah I took a two month leave of absence and cashed out 100+ hours of PTO cuz negotiations for PTO dates were harder to come to then just saying I gotta go for a “family emergency “
Oh I take my days off, I just am not going anywhere this year bc it's too expensive.
I would say the biggest reasons why people don’t take vacations is that they just don’t have friends or family to do a vacation with and people are afraid to take a vacation solo.
My team gets paid very well for the area. There are always a few that never use their vacation days cause they just don’t have a desire to travel. At most, they do weekend trips to a local lake or attend a college football game.
Im taking long weekends this summer, not going anywhere
I was a teacher, we were all off at the same time. My husband was forced to work during the wars. A lot of us had husbands couldn’t take off for a vacation. ( mandatory work, they called it on paper!)
Taking time off is your right.
Going on vacation is a luxury.
I have unlimited time off. It's an odd policy honestly but i know the ruse. You actually take off less time
I live in a vacation area and its a packed summer day. Plenty of tourists
Feel guilty taking time off because work lands on my coworkers causing them stress. I also come back to piled up work stressing me out.
When I worked in the hospital, that’s exactly how I felt. Somebody had to do my job when I wasn’t there. I switched jobs and I work as a teaching assistant now at school so I have all the school breaks including 2 summer months off.
I grind 55-70hrs a week at my job. I take 3 or 4 vacations a year. I have to or I'd lose my mind.
