I recently accepted a new job that wants to start me in a couple weeks. I am still employed and have racked up over 10 days of PTO. If I quit, the company almost certainly won't pay me out that PTO (my state doesn't make them).
Ideally, I would like to take a whole week of PTO at least starting the day of my new job to double dip on paychecks. I just have zero inspiration for why I would suddenly need a week or more off of a remote job. Can you guys help me brainstorm?
Also, if I quit the day after taking a bunch of PTO, they legally have to pay me for all of it, right? Because my term date would be after the PTO?
