We now get 1 hr of pto a week. Personally I save it for a month accumulate 4 hrs skip lunch on a Friday and go home 4.5 hrs early. A coworker of mine used his to sleep in 1 hr a week to each their own its personal time. Per company policy pto cannot be denied and I can use it at any time as its my time. Well now out plant manager who rarely if ever shows up called an emergency meeting wanting to know why some of use dip early on a Friday with little notice or just sleep in and use our pto. Excuse me what this is company policy and always has been. He threw a fit and brought up a case of how a worker from another shift had an emergency and didn't have any pto so he had to take a point. Bitch its an emergency and he had proof should have just excused it and I know I sure as hell wouldn't use my pto for that. Anyway lately he's trying to say we are abusing the system a system which the plant manager and the GM agreed to and made up because they didn't anticipate people using it. This all happened because work has been slow lately they tried to save money by telling us to go home 45 mins into a Friday and most of us used pto to get paid for it since they were sending us home anyway. They didn't like the fact they still had to pay us. Fuck corporate policies this dick head basically said you're supposed to save 8 to 16 hrs of pto in case works slow or something happens no its pto and ill use it as I please.
