POLL: Do you have have get approval for taking PTO or other vacation?
Maybe my situation is unique but I tell my boss when I'm taking time off, not for their approval but so they know.
I saw a thread on reddit about some crazy bosses that don't approve time off ever. I could never work like that.

I take off whenever I want and I don't tell anyone. My boss allows it for exactly the opposite reason.

I think it depends on the type of work in addition to many other variables.

I don't get PTO or vacation time. My employer chooses my vacation time.
