Throwaway account. I've been working in this manufacturing job as a machinist for a year and a half now, but I've been in the trade for almost 5 years. Today, when going to schedule PTO for the holidays, I learned I only have one day. In this whole year I called off four times, and they were for absolute emergencies. I don't like to call off of work unless necessary. Anywho, I guess my foreman decided to take away a PTO day each time I did and he never told me that he was doing that. I didn't use any of my PTO all year so I could take the week of Christmas off, and now I can only take a day. I don't understand how he's allowed to do that and not even inform me about it. I'm so frustrated.
