Yeah, we're salaried federal employees, so that might be part of it. Fwiw, when I had my own business, I think I took time off once in 14 years. I'm actually kinda glad they make us use our leave. We have a certain amount of "use it or lose it" leave every year. This year I have 80+ hours of that and I haven't used any yet. Lol.
same. i get 160 hours a year now. we can rollover 40 but have to "use those" by june of the next year.

i rolled over 22 last year into this year. so started with 182 jan 1 and used 10. its hard taking time off when you can work 4 10's and be off a day during the week.

and being hourly and busy like i said earlier, i dont want to take off and miss a 50-60 hour week when i dont have any reason to take off. if i have plans its easy, but just taking off to take off, its hard.
