No one dreams of clocking in while everyone else is home savoring pumpkin pie and watching holiday classics. Working on Thanksgiving feels like a necessary evil for those in essential roles, but even then, the thought of missing out on the wholesome chaos of a family gathering is hard to pass up. So, when this employee was finally lucky enough to snag her first holiday off, it was like making it out of the new hire phase and into the big leagues. She was thrilled to finally spend the holidays w…

Check mate, Doctor!

"Craziest part about it is he’s going to be gone for a week despite complaining about availability issues."

This overnight caregiver probably had many late-night 14-hour shifts to imagine the perfect revenge against his CEO after discovering that the company was trying to hoodwink the workforce into relinquishing their right to their generous PTO policy. And that's a decision that will haunt the company's accountant's dreams for years to come after this thorough employee is finished with them in court…

In a company with unlimited PTO, you'd think taking a day off would be a no-brainer. But for one woman working in engineering, every time she takes a well-deserved break, there's this one coworker who's always quick to make a comment about it in front of everyone. Her coworker seems to think that unlimited PTO is a personal challenge to his work ethic, and he’s not shy about making it known. Especially on company-wide meetings.

"This gets met with more attitude so I ask if I’ll be getting paid sick time for the day I missed yesterday. He says no, not without a doctors note. . ."

For some unknown reason, there are employees who do not feel the need to use all of their PTO. They are fine with their PTO just sitting there, not being used for what it is meant to do – give people a break. I am a firm believer that PTO is there to be used, and I don't think I ever let a year pass by in a company without using all of the time off I am entitled to. For one, because how can a person go through an entire year without taking time off? And second, because letting it just sit there…

There are so many rules protecting the employer from employees doing whatever they want, but it is time to protest that there are not enough rules protecting employees from their employers. If an employee informs their employer of their time off, two months before it is due, there should absolutely be a rule prohibiting the employer from saying no. Employees should be allowed to use their time off whenever they want to, and if they bring it up a sufficient time in advance, employers should have…

We all know that unlimited PTO is, to put it mildly, not what it sounds like. Unlimited PTO might be better than having a set number of minimal vacation time, but it's like when you order an item online and expect something grandiose, only to receive something nice but still not exactly what was advertised. Sure, it's still better than what you had before, but it's not as good as it looked online. Here, we have an employee whose unlimited PTO request was denied by their boss, who had decided th…

In a perfect world, when a couple gets engaged, they each get to take time off their jobs so they can plan their dream wedding. Then, after they get married, without having to even think about work, they would go on a long honeymoon to enjoy their time together as newlyweds. Only after they return from their vacation would they also return to work, where everyone would welcome them with open arms and congratulations. This world is not a perfect world, in fact, it is far from it. We live in a wo…

Finally, a bad manager getting the karma he deserves. This manager made such a wrong call that he nearly cost the company 200 thousand dollars. Ouch. At the company, a particular manager is a real stickler for the rules and has always had it out for one particular employee. After firing him under trivial circumstances, what the manager didn't know was that this employee was responsible for a very expensive piece of software for which he was the only one at the company with a license to. Well, w…

“They will watch you cry as they take away the only thing you have asked for at this job, and then leave early to go work from home that same day.”
