Should I call out of work tomorrow to attend an event?

r/

Basically in the title. Its been a long couple of weeks and recently my job has been becoming stressful with sudden demands. Theres an event being held in the city (Friday) and I want to go so bad. The cold winter was really rough on my mental health (woo seasonal depression) and its going to be a warm evening with local artists, music, and food. To take a day off, however, I have to use PTO and I only have so much. What should I do?

    Do it yo. You’ll feel way better, and if you got the spare PTO, even better. If your workplace pressures you to not do it again just ignore that shit. Life is for living, you’re making money to spend it on the living part of your life. You’ll remember the show way more as a life experience than just another Friday at work.

    I get the urge, but I also only get so much pto per year. If you know you want to keep this job all year, and you know how much pto you’ll get this year, you have to weigh tomorrow’s event against any future events that you already know you want to go to. If there isn’t enough pto in the year to accommodate all of them, something has to get sacrificed…
