I have now been informed that if I leave early I need to use up PTO or remain in the office…….am I being crazy here or does this feel a little targeted? Starting to feel a bit abusive tbh and I’m not sure what to do. Power trip maybe? Or maybe my boss is getting yelled at by higher ups? I just do not understand why I am being singled out.
