i brought this up in the comments of a random post recently and a few people seemed to be mindblown by it so i thought I'd bring it up here.
as the title says, my company allows us to purchase pto. it's expensive as hell, basically an hour for however much you make an hour. 40 hours total purchasable so in the end, you're paying out your own pto for that week you take off. i haven't seen it often in my 10+ years of working so i thought I'd see how yall feel about it.
imo it seems cool at first but the more you think about it, the more predatory it feels. even so, i sure did buy 40 hours this year because time away from work is worth it.
