The Generous Employee Medal: Is It Worth the Cost?

Are you a generous employee?

Take this quick test to find out!

Answer the following questions with a simple yes or no:

💠 Does your company have a “use it or lose it” PTO policy, and you often lose some of your accrued time?

💠 Does unlimited PTO make you feel guilty about taking time off, so you rarely do and end up burned out?

💠 Do you work even when you are sick?

💠 Do you check emails or finish tasks while on vacation?

If you answered yes to any of these questions—congratulations, you have earned the unofficial title of a Generous Employee! 🎇

But... is this really something to celebrate? 🤔

💡 Here’s a friendly reminder:  Paid time off is part of your compensation package. 

Think about it—how much is a workday worth to you?

Now imagine giving that value back to your employer FOR FREE!

Why does this happen?

✅ You prioritize your company’s success over your well-being.

✅ You put your boss’s family time ahead of your own.

Doesn't it sound weird?!

As the holiday season approaches, take this as your reminder: 

Use your PTO.

It’s your health, your time, and your money - earned through your hard work.

Don’t let it go to waste. Life is short, and you only get one shot at it.

Take care of yourself. You’ve earned it. 💪
