I just started a new job two weeks ago. I want to ask for Dec 26th off. We get the 25th off. My boss, his boss and all my co-workers have PTo that day. My bosses boss made a statement at the team meeting yesterday that people should take time off if they want.
My dilema is I just started. I feel like it is pretty soon to ask for a PTO day BUT on the other hand the holidays are a little different.
do you think I should ask for the day off? would it make me look "lazy'? I kick myself for not asking for the 24th and the 26th as part of my negotiations but that is done...
In terms of work all my business partenrs will be on PTO so honestly other than trying to ramp up I dont have any deliverables due at that time.
Re: wwyd: asking for time off at new job
Enjoy a slow day, get ahead, show dedication.

Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
