re: Observations of PTO usage between Older Workers v. Younger workers

I’ve found that younger workers (25-35) are more likely to take a Thursday/Friday off here and there through out the year and maybe one week long stint during the spring or summer time. Without fail this sends the older workers (45-60) into orbit. You’ll start to hear all sorts of passive aggressive comments like “must be nice” or “does he/she ever work”. These same old heads will “forget to take a day off because they’re so busy” (always the martyr) and then take one massive month long vacation at the end of the year. IMO this is way more irresponsible than spacing it out reasonably through the year. Just something ive observed while being in the work force.
