Work-life balance is more important than we often realize.

This man met a teacher at a party who bragged about never using his PTO for thirty years.

The teacher tried to get paid for the unused PTO, but he failed.

So he realized that his hard work didn’t pay off the way he expected.

Read the full story below for all the details.

Teacher never takes a day off in 30 years.

I was talking to a teacher at a party.

He was bragging to me about how hard working he is.

He said that he’s never taken more than 1 day off every year for the last thirty years.

He apparently has over a year’s worth of PTO saved up.

The teacher tried to ask if he could get paid for all his PTOs.

Then, he goes on to tell me that he asked the administration if he could take a whole year off and just get paid for it.

They told him that’s not allowed.

So then, he apparently asked if he could just get paid for all the PTO instead.

They eventually got back to him and told him the most they would pay him is 33% of it.

This man thinks the teacher just basically wasted his life by not taking time off.

So essentially, he never took any time off and wasted his life.

And they won’t even pay his PTO.

The whole time, he was telling me how hard a worker he is.

And then tries to spin it like he doesn’t mind because he really enjoyed his job.
