My company has a really generous PTO policy so I get 5 weeks off. But I feel like whenever I go on vacation, people are annoyed. And, the company won’t pay me cash for the time I don’t take. It feels really unfair. Any advice on what to do?

When you say people are annoyed - are you sure? And if they’re not your boss, do you really need to care?

I don't think it's unfair that they won't pay you for the time you don't take off. & why do u think that people are annoyed when you take days off?
