      1000%. PTO is part of your compensation, just like your paycheck is, and you have the right to use it. It's polite to plan ahead a reasonable amount when feasible, but if you taking PTO is highly disruptive to your team, that's your _manager's_ failure, not yours.https://twitter.com/Katchin05/status/1390399511810486272 …

      No. 💚 You do not owe any of this to your employer and while it is important to consider the needs of other working class people the job is not your family. Most of us are drastically under using PTO *if* it’s even available. https://twitter.com/privilegelog/status/1390342231056396292 …

      or maybe it's your manager's manager's failure, or the executives' failure, but the point is that if schedules are so tight that anyone taking time off causes unacceptable slippage, that means everything was planned badly to start with and it already can't be fixed.

      it is a _management responsibility_ to build schedules with enough flexibility to accommodate workers taking time off.

      I would propose as a rule of thumb that—suppose you use an "agile"/"sprint"-based approach—every sprint management asks "if a worker were out this whole sprint, could we still deliver our plan?" if the answer is no, reduce your plan until it's yes.

          (to be clear, I mean this on a per-team basis! if you can't deliver your sprint plan with one person _per team_ out, without crunch, then your plan is too aggressive.)

          If no one is out, great! You have extra time at the end of the sprint to retire some tech debt or do some longer-range planning or have a big two-hour team pizza lunch.

          Replying to @ScottMadin

          Yep, we build PTO into our project planning. It allows people to be comfortable taking off as well as a permission structure to say no to excessive extra demands from management.
