Does anyone else feel like PTO is such a scam to keep workers from taking vacations when they want to. The way people talk and say crap like “oh you don't qualify for PTO there fore you can't take a vacation” then im just like then why cant I just not get piad for it. What the fuck is the point of getting paid when its basically your work still just having a leash around your neck and you still can't enjoy anything. If you can't take a few days off whenever just to get refreshed then what the hell is the point of working. They shouldn't own us and PTO I feel like is basically a more extended contract of slavery like “oh you can take time off but only for this amount of days and for this amount of time” and people let these fucking scumbags get away with it when they should be able to leave whenever. I know this was pretty disjointed but does anyone else agree, only reason im asking is cause im going out of town for a few days one week. Then two and a half weeks later my dad is having a retirement party and he really wants me to come visit him and I really wanna go visit since I haven't seen him for almost a year at this point. It all just seems like such a big scam when we have to make our lives around the company's time when it should be the other way around.
