I recently got my first full-time job. I just submitted (or “requested”?) my second PTO day (only one day). My question is: should I talk to my boss before requesting? At my level, I won't miss much and honestly no one will probably notice I'm off, but it feels a bit weird just saying “I'm off on ___” to my boss. I know PTO is part of my contract and I really should not have to “ask”, but I still want to be respectful since my boss has been super nice and understanding.
