I work as a breakfast attendant in a small hotel in a small Midwest town. When I was hired on, I was told I would get competitive' wages, which ment about $8/H less then anywhere else in their eyes. At first, I was ok with that because I didn't have a lot of bills to pay. I work my tail end off for them every day, promised a big raise, but never got it. I figured I'd cut my losses and go work somewhere else for more pay, but they managed to convince me to stay with a decent pay raise. Stupidly, I stay. I work for a long time for them, and recently, I wanted to go visit a friend from a few states away, so I ask my manager how much PTO I have, and I have a total of 3 hours accumulated. Unfortunately, at that point my manager had to leave for the day, and I did see them until today, when we sat down and talked about my PTO, which completely disappeared. So now, at some point in the near future, I get to talk to my manager, the general manager, and HR of the company that owns the hotel, about what happened, where it went, and how it accumulates. I'll update when it happens
