Made executive decision to leave work an hour early today since I have a 1/2 hour of Flex Time and I can use PTO for the rest. I did not an intense therapy and active shooter training with a loud ass culturally obnoxious trainer today. I need a speed bag at home for days like today.

It is extremely fucked up that I can get laid off and have my compensation stolen from me by not paying out PTO. Fuck you shitty PA laws allowing for shit employers to be shit. Hell of an "equity" org.

Husband works at a hospital and he has to take PTO for holidays.

My hospital system pays holidays with PTO, you technically get 6 holidays each year in your PTO bank so if it lands on a weekday you have to pay it out of your PTO but if it lands on a weekend you don't. It's pretty shitty honestly but I think it's lurching toward being the norm.
Is this good? It doesn't seem good.

If I had more PTO and money and friends I’d be at Billy Strings tonight. But alas, I have none of that.

Nah, at least not in the service industry. Getting PTO is a rarity

That's right, there was a year they said you had to opt out of having the PTO used if you didn't want it used then. Now it only happens if you manually do it yourself.

At one point, I got up to -2.5 PTO hours. I felt so relieved and happy. Now I'm just back at the bottom.

Nah, I put in for PTO for those days at the beginning of the year, and they've long since been approved.
I don't usually get sick very often, so I generally use my sick leave for doctor's appointments and to veto particularly shitty drives, like this one.

I haven't seen 0 PTO hours in years. I've been in the negative this entire time, owing my employer money.

Also: There is only one kind of PTO. I don't have sick days, vacation days, grief days, none of that. It's just all the same PTO, no matter what reason I'm off work. On top of that, we're not allowed to take unpaid time off. Literally not allowed. I'm constantly burning PTO.

For context, if you're not aware, PTO hours work like money when you quit or get fired. If I quit or get fired while I have unused PTO, my boss has to pay me the equivalent. But if I have *negative* PTO? You guess it: I have to pay them.

I was just informed that my PTO hours is at the maximum negative, -40 hours. I've been working so goddamn hard to get it up to 0 hours that I ran myself ragged, which made me sick and put me back worse than I've ever been. I'm so fucking depressed and I kinda wanna die.

Walmart did this a while ago. Had the nerve to tell associates they could still get paid, but they would have to use their accrued PTO. Were all excited about telling them of this great "benefit", like it was a gift.

Tempted to put in PTO for my birthday (naturally my current employer isn't as awesome as my old one) but I don't know what to do with that day.
It's Thanksgiving the next day. Everyone is busy. May as well work?

OK historians of the PTO, I have a pedantic question regarding the description used here: Was Iwo Jima "pivotal"?
Veteran Jim Blane, almost 101 years old, sat down with CPR News to detail his experience in one of the most pivotal WWII battles, 80 years later. (via Colorado Public Radio)

Plans disrupted. Chaos everywhere.
Sound familiar? When team members are out – travel delays, sick days, PTO – do you have a plan?
If your answer is “we’ll figure it out.” That’s wishful thinking.
Agility isn’t reactive. It’s ready.
