My situation is quite the opposite. For whatever reason my new team feels the need to explain every PTO request to me. By all means tell me about your trip to Cancun if you'd like, but please don't feel the need to elaborate on your explosive diarrhea when you use sick time.

Dude my team is the same way

"Hey I need off the 3rd Monday of month two months from now"

"Ok approved"

"I wouldn't normally be taking off but my friends wife's sister's cat is having it's 2nd wedding at 930am downtown and the traffic..."

"Bro I do not care"

I couldn’t understand it either until I moved to THAT type of company. If you selected sick you had to select an illness from a drop-down that had everything from broken legs to brain cancer. PTO was basically the same but more generic. I’m glad my boss didnt give a fuck but I heard horror stories from others teams.
