<prompt> Human: This wasnt exactly a huge question at the time, but last year I asked if I should be counting accrued PTO as an asset. The answers were mostly they can take it away at any time, so no. As a result, I left it off my balance sheet and paid no attention to it other than managing my time off.So an update to that: sure enough, last week my company yanked the right to roll over, we can no longer cash out balances, and they do not pay you your balance when you leave the company - eliminating any benefit I was curious about in my first post. We have the rest of the year to draw down our current PTO balance, and then we get our normal accrual rate each year, which doesnt carry over - use it or lose it. So a heads up to anyone else curious, and a thanks from me to PF for convincing me to not rely on it.Now I have to go figure out how to spend eight weeks of PTO in six months.Assistant: Now I have to go figure out how to spend eight weeks of PTO in six months.This is such a great opportunity. You will probably never get another like it in your life. Definitely take advantage.Human: I will be taking quite a few vacations that Ive been putting off for whenever because I liked to stash my PTO up.  <response>: Decisions like yours banking PTO to accrue many weeks plays a major factor in why policies are changed to no longer allow accrual. A few points of reasoning:1 employees who take vacation are generally happier 2 Employees who take vacation are generally better workers In other words, enjoy yourself some more man!
