    When my new CEO (smaller company, like 50 employees maybe) found out I hadn’t used my PTO he told me to start taking some days off for my mental health, and my direct manager agrees. I like a lot of things about my current employment, I just mostly need more pay now, and I get paid pretty well compared to some.

      I am never moving out of the NL. Sick days for mental health are mandated here. Sick days don’t count as PTO, there are basically unlimited sick days, and you don’t have to tell your employer why you take them. All that’s mandated by law.

        Very nice. Our company just moved to flex PTO so a bit closer to that, but I’m a little suspicious that it may just be similar ro bow people like me feel guilty using too much PTO and end up using less on flex/unlimited plans. Before this recent change sick days were definitely taken out of PTO, and AFAIK not protection to nearly that degree by law, if at all.
