u/BrownDudley

Been at my job 8 years. Baby due end of May. My plan:

•	Take 2 weeks paternity leave  
•	Burn my remaining 2 weeks PTO  
•	Come back and give 4 weeks notice

My state doesn’t require PTO payout on resignation, so burning it first is the only way to protect earned comp. I’m giving 4 weeks instead of 2 to offset the optics.

Close relationship with my manager makes me second-guess it.

Is this bad form, or totally normal? Has anyone done this?
