Boss trying to deny my PTO request

We have PTO request deadlines every month for 2 months ahead schedule (i.e March PTO deadline is in Mid January) Anything after the deadline is my responsibility to find personal coverage. I would like to note that I rarely request PTO days for my job. I have worked there for 3 years and have called off one time. I have a Friday wedding I am a bridesmaid in May and my Sister’s College graduation that I requested before the PTO deadline. My boss emailed me today saying they have a lot of PTO requests for those days and I might need to find my own coverage. Guess I will be calling off twice. What is the point of accruing PTO if I am shamed for trying to use it.

Me: The reason I applied is because I don't drive and the position is advertised as fully remote. Asking me to travel 2.5 hours each way to Markham once a month would be a hardship, and doesn't…

Why the hell does my future employer need to see past W2s?

This is for a remote entry level customer service job. And I guess I get why they do background checks, why they need to see 20 years of home addresses, my high school transcript and job history, but for fucks sake why do they need my W2s?!
