Can a company withhold Earned PTO? Michigan.

I quit my job January 24. Full time employee for 2 years and acquired 104 hours of PTO. In the weeks leading up to the 24th I put in my two weeks and worked my scheduled shift while using 72 hours of PTO to cover and prep some days for the new job. Flash forward to today and I'm missing 32 hours of pay. They have not sent any check in the mail and calling HR has resulted in nothing. 2 calls leaving a detailed message and they've yet to get back to me regarding my 32 hours of earned PTO. It doesn't seem right and they are seemingly avoiding me. I contacted my old manager and she refused to help me fix the issue saying I should just contact HR because she's too busy. She's too busy running a retail store that has no traffic in the winter months??…

how many bad days can one person have?

I tell myself over and over again that it's just another bad day. It's starting to get to a point with this 9-5 society with an extra 4-5 hours of work every day. How many times can I say suck it up its just work or get over it. Just food for thought my friends.

Boss say you need to pick up your phone when i call you.

Bullshit I'm not on call and deserve my day off in peace. I work with people that don't want to do anything and always has an excuse. I don't want to run around like a chicken with his head cut off. They want me open to close cause we are short staffed and I said I'm not a morning person. I'm not looking to do 50 hours at 12.00 and do all the work.

Best way to unionize?

I work for Target and have really been debating on trying to see if others here would be interested in starting a union. What are some of the best steps in order to get this started? I know some people that are interested, just need some ideas or suggestions on how to get the ball rolling. I’m located in PA, USA by the way just in case that matters with any union laws. Also, would I be protected (job wise) if I talk about it at work and try to start one?

Does this happen in your area a lot or is it just mine?

There are a ton of commissions only jobs in my area. Most of which do not tell you it’s commission only until after the interview. It’s a huge waste of time! They put your possible salary but not the real salary in the job description. What ticked me off was when a business I interviewed for a few months ago posted that they’re short staffed and trying their best to hire new people. This is how my interview went: So basically 40 minutes of the boss telling me how great it is to work there. Some of his reasons included financial security and the fact that most of his employees work over time by choice so that must mean they like being in the office so it’s not a bad work place. Then he asked me a bunch of questions and he told me I sounded highly qualified for the…
