Joining amz soon. I'm used to big PTO balance (though never used it much, mostly just a Friday off here and there). Starting at amz I'll only get 10 in first year. Just wondering how to deal if any family urgency and stuf.. does Amazon allow negative pto? Tc 250k
Take the above guidance with a grain of salt. It all depends on if you get a good manager.
Lol good luck trying to use your PTO without getting PIP'ed
All the pip stories are false and if not I'm the only hardworking exception who wont have to worry about pip
😁
Very few leaders track PTO balances outside of fulfillment related operations. The biggest conversation you have with your boss on PTO is when your balance hits the threshold and he either ask you to submit it for a time you’ve already taken or to go ahead and take some vacation because you will start losing it.
I thought they also offer 6 personal holidays, beyond the 7 Federal Holidays (11 but not all observed) and I'd in CA they cover 3 sick days
16 PTO first year. Then 21 for a while. Then 26 for year 6+. That's actually quite a lot of PTO to have on the books, given that a lot of "unlimited PTO" places have soft caps around 20ish Vacation is 10-15-20, Personal days is 6 per year. You can carry over some unused vacation days but not personal
Oh.. yeah i wasn't clear on vacation 10 vs personal 6 days... What's the difference ?
Vacation days get paid out if you leave the company, personal do not. You can carry over some set number of unused vacation days at the end of the year. The usage difference is MEANT to be Personal days for taking just an anytime day off, and Vacation meant for planned, more consecutive days off. But in practice people just use them as the same for PTO
Sorry.. i guess you already mentioned the difference is whether or not it gets carried over
PTO is capped at 160 hours. You’ll stop accruing once you hit this number. Your PTO will roll over year to year. If you have a 160 hrs banked, it’ll all roll over. Personal time rolls over 24hrs max I believe (not 100% certain). unused sick days get converted to personal time at the start of the new year

Most managers are aware we don’t get enough PTO. So they let you just take time off without reporting it. Just set outlook to show you are out and don’t add it to time off tool.
And if you get called out, just say you forgot
Gotcha. Yep sounds like my last firm too.. as long as stuff gets done nobody cared
