I started a new job in January. When I started I was told their was a 3 month training class and that that we couldn’t put in requests for PTO until we moved to our actual supervisors. Fast forward, we just moved to our new supervisors and after basically bothering my my supervisor non stop — I finally got access to the PTO calendar.
I work in claims which is pretty production based so only 10% of us can be out at once. Anyway, the entire calendar is basically filled until the end of the year. Apparently it opens 1/1 and everyone just puts all of their requests for the year. I have a vacation planned in June and thankfully I was able to get off the 20th,21st and 22nd but not the 19th. I’m thinking about just calling in sick but I feel like they’ll know I’m lying. But I feel like 3 months is plenty of notice.
