The place I work allows you to accumulate your vacation time up to what you earn for two years. In other words, if you get 24 days a year, you can accumulate 50. Many soon-to-be retirees here will use them up in their last couple of months.

The two biggest benefits are, you still accumulate even more PTO during that time, plus you’re not getting hit with the taxes from a big lump sum.

Any sick time you accumulate, you can only get paid out for half of that.

In my opinion, the only negative to taking all the time off is, the place I work cannot even start the replacement process until after you’ve actually reached your official last day. But that’s on them.

Anyone have something similar in their place?

What is a short message or a single statement that somebody said to you that helped you avoid what you’d consider a big mistake when it came to your house renovations?

I was strongly considering glass panels around my new deck when someone at work asked me if I had lawn sprinklers in my backyard. I said yes, why?

He said you’re going to be constantly wiping them down to keep the water spots off the glass.

I noped out of those glass panels immediately.
