I was a contractor for 3 months. They love my work ethic. Promoted to FT Program manager. First project: DEADLINE IN TWO WEEKS ASAP. I put in like 60 hrs a week. Today is T- 28 days since I started FT and im experiencing Burnout. Im new to corporate. I never had this much work. My manager already has assigned another project to me and expected me to do both this week. Insane. I dont know how to request time off. my PTO hasnt accrued yet since they dont count the time as a contractor.
My friend suggested that I email them and state I will only work 9-6 M-F. but how is that possible if deadlines are tight?
Im surprised co worker took one week off in June and Now another week. She apparently knows how to schedule these in a wise way. I can see the second vacation is not "PTO" and is not in the calendar. Is she not reporting to HR?
Can I request time off without PTO?
Thanks so much for reading this far.
