You may still be at a full-time job you took several years ago, but you’re likely a different person than the one who showed up on day one. Perhaps you started a family, and all of those snow days and sick days and appointments have eaten into your allotted PTO. Maybe your spouse, or your parents, need care and attention that demands you be away from work for a while. Or maybe you’ve just worked your ass off and are in a field like tech, where some peers are pulling “unlimited PTO” while you’re clocking in like a chump. In any of these cases, you need more paid leave. So how do you talk to your company about it? Here’s what to do.
