My job literally forces me to take all my leave by end of FY unless I have a very good reason.

I actually enjoy answering emails when I’m off work but I guess I like my job

Any company that can’t function without a team member to this degree is under staffed and poorly ran. You can’t hinge operations on any one talent. This Priv person has real work / life issues or is just a greedy boss.

Or ask for a massive raise, and take the PTO anyway.

[–] ToxicWaste@lemmy.cafe 3 points 5 days ago (6 children)

what in the world is PTO? best guess from context is holidays. but why would anyone make it a 3 letter acronym? i am sure any 3 letter acronym has at least 3 different meanings in different contexts...

but if PTO actually is holidays, yes take them. don't let some third world country grifters, like you find them often in the usa, redefine words and take away basic things - just because they call it slightly different.

Companies are rolling vacation time and sick time into one block called “Paid Time Off” make themselves look better.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago

That's horrifying.

I guess?

PTO can usually just be used anytime as long as you give notice and get it approved. That doesn't match with the American definition of 'holidays' since those are specific calendar dates, but I think British English uses the term interchangeably with vacation?

It's not always an acronym- a lot of people will just say 'vacation time.'

But yeah it's basically so that you have one pool for vacation time and sick time that's paid. A lot of places expect you to take unpaid leave if you're sick- or just fuckin work anyways- because unchecked capitalism.
