Several of my coworkers and I just got reprimanded and told we are not allowed to take time off if we have no PTO/vacation time accrued.
What if we are sick? What if we have an emergency? How can they mandate us calling off in these situations? They don't have to pay us if we don't show up, so what's the fucking problem?
(Yes we are understaffed. No they will not hire more people.)
