Jobs requiring PTO in order for you to miss work is stupid

I am just starting my second week at a new job. Today we were discussing PTO, sick time and scheduling; I brought up how in June I have a wedding that I will be attending and won’t be available to be logged in. The trainer responded with “Well you won’t be live until mid/end of April, at which point you can reach out to your team lead and see if your request will be approved; you might not have the PTO though to cover it so it might be declined if they can’t find people to cover those three days.” I responded with “I appreciate the info, but I won’t be here for those three days…I’ll reach out to my team lead when I go live though, thanks.” It’s taken me several years to come to the conclusion that life events are more important than a job. Don’t pass up…

It’s taken me several years to come to the conclusion that life events are more important than a job. Don’t pass up for once in a life time events for a job.
