This subreddit is awesome. But some of the things I see folks commenting here don't really make much sense to me based on the workplace experience I have.
I'm specifically talking about the denied PTO/Vacation/Day(s) off threads. And more specifically the replies stating the employee should just let the employer know they are unavailable or will still not be attending work on said days.
Are you all collectively not working jobs that have a penal system for absences? Where I work, we have a points system. Call off, one point. Late, half point. No call absence, 3 points. You hit 8 and you're gone.
I'm curious because I have never had the option of just not getting paid for the day and that's the end of it.
