The last thing anyone ever does when they're planning a vacation is request the time off. Half the time, nobody even knows what their PTO balance is and they're simply following the needs of their deteriorating physical and mental well-being. Usually the moment you realise you need a vacation– like when your boss is yelling at you, projects are piling up, and you're so stressed that you consider working after hours– is when you buy the flight. Airlines know when you'll be at your weakest and capitalize on marketing towards the most desperate of employees because that's the target demographic of exorbitant unplanned sales. Nothing screams 'SOS' like the need to dip out to island time. Fortunately for some workers, we have our measly 10 days to look forward to every year where we're allowed to be ourselves, let our hair down, and experience alcoholism in another language. 

So if you're an employee who's waiting on managerial approval of your PTO, these memes are for you to scroll on company time.
