You are going to make less money this year than last, given inflation 😿. Don’t expect your employer to give you the 6%+ raise needed to stay even. Let’s talk about other 💰 you could negotiate for.
Ask your company to pay for trainings, classes, or other development opportunities. Training usually lives under a separate budget line-item, so it is potentially easier for managers to secure these $. This could help with career advancement! 😸
Relatedly, see if they will pay fees for a industry-relevant certification or certificate programs. Like the above, these could help with future career advancement!
Request an extended vacation outside of a major holiday. It does not matter if you have unlimited PTO or not, managers become 😾 when they see a long vacation request. Managers have control over this, so you may be surprised with how agreeable they are with this.
Ask for additional funds be given to your HSA or FSA account. This is less likely, but companies have less tax liability for putting money in these accounts opposed to giving you cash.
Lastly, you could request an advantageous work assignment/work shift. This may help you cultivate desirable job skills or increase you chance of earning $$$ tips 😻.
What are your options if you need to maintain your earnings?
1) Request a raise (ya’ right 😹)
2) Promotion 💎
2) Find a new job 👍
3) Take on side/gig work ⚠️
Keep in mind that inflation impacts all 💵 transactions. The money that you earn this year for gig work will not be worth as much as the money you earned last year (i.e., same effort = less $$$).
PS to Artists 🎨: Seriously consider increasing your rates. Not only are your comm $ going to be worth less, but platforms have 📈 their service fees. The latter increase the cost of doing business, so you must either eat that cost or push it onto your customers.

Speaking of PTO, my department was really pushing me to use PTO more frequently. I maxed it out a few times over my career. Is there a particular reason why? I'm guessing it's so if I leave they don't have to pay out as much.
That would be a good guess. Many orgs give a dollar value to PTO time so if you max out they have to pay you difference, or they are trying to avoid a pay out if you were to leave the position. PTO policy is not regulated in the USA, so you would have to look at your employee handbook for details.
There could be some special agreement if there is a union contract involved...
Lastly, they could be afraid that you are going to ask for a long vacation. I have heard stories of retiring people taking 2 months off because of the amount of time they had accrued over their tenure.
