30-year-old refuses to trade vacation days with 35-year-old coworker for her family trip: 'Just because I don’t have kids doesn’t mean my time off is any less valuable'

Every employee knows how precious their limited number of vacation days are. Unless you are one of those lucky individuals with unlimited PTO (although even that is not exactly what it's cracked up to be), chances are you have to go through the same process every year of being highly strategic with how you are going to be spending that time.

The worst part about PTO is that the vast majority of the days you have to take off are for other people's special events: weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, etc. If you're like me, you reserve a precious few of your days for yourself. It could be a staycation or a trip of your own, as long as you're doing something solely for your own amusement with that time. The last thing you want to do with those few free days is to give them up to your coworker!
