My problem spending the vacation time has been all of my other obligations. My teaching is an extra contract on the side - but HR says I can't use PTO on a day that I teach and still show up to teach. And for 5 years I was teaching 2 classes per term and taking 2 or 3 classes per term, so time off during the term was a day here or there, but never a week or more at a shot. And then we always get all the fed/bank holidays, plus a few extra at thanksgiving, plus being closed and off with pay for 2-3 weeks for the winter break, plus a week off for Spring break at my birthday, and other than teaching I don't think I've worked more than 45 or 50 hours in a week ever and that was while learning a new tech stack .... so it isn't like I don't get time off even without putting in a leave form.....
Just checked, I have 298 hours of vacation time and 648 hours of sick time banked... I can get up to 900 of the sick hours I think (all paid out when I retire in a few years) and any vacay over 350 hours I lose on 1/1 of each year
