So my company (small PR firm) has this unwritten policy that if you are taking time off, there’s an expectation that you will front-load work that would’ve been done while you’re on PTO. Is this a common expectation? Why am I having to do whatever work I’m already responsible for the days a I’m working, in addition to the work that I would’ve done while I’m out? Makes PTO feel more like “do not disturb” than actual time off.
