I’m pretty sure it’s legal for them to do this regardless of state, even more so in FL. But yeah, I took 5 days for PTO for a vacation and it was approved. I work as a nurse, do 3 12’s. The PTO would mean that I have 40 allotted hours so I wouldn’t have to work a lot of days beforehand. About a month and a half later, they cancel my PTO and make it to where I work 3 12’s before I have to drive 12 hours for my vacation. I still have the days off at least this way but now I have no time to pack. I know there are worse offenses that I’ve read on here, but this place is losing staff left and right due to scheduling issues. I looked at the staffing book, we actually have adequate staffing for a few of those…

I'm already working a lot. The extra hours he's talking about is when he wants a Saturday off. I'm so fucking frustrated with him saying this but I never say anything because I'm trying to be professional.

Been working for a tech company for a while (6 months) in a PM function. The second I hit the ground, I realized what a dumpster fire senior management was. Zero steer on priorities, no organization whatsoever. Of course, it’s never the company’s fault, so my probation has been extended because I can’t plan for projects that never happen, get cancelled, or replaced by the next “important” thing. Thankfully, this trash company won’t even touch my CV because I took a self-employed sabbatical and can pretend it never existed when finding a replacement. Jesus, am I tired of corporations though. The team was still delivering. Work was still getting done. Keeping a job shouldn’t be so hard.
