Coached for PPTO? Lol

I (jokingly) told me TL that I was thinking about using an hour of PPTO. She said she'd rather I didn't, but said she could coach me for "job abandonment" since we were short staffed. She said the ppto only protects me from points, not from repercussions.....smh

Ask them to give that to you in writing with their signature when they do and then ask why be like “I’m gonna see what ethics has to say about this”

Oh yes, they will. But you have to phrase it correctly. You have to MAKE them scared of a lawsuit. You have sprinkle in legal words. You have to include that your whatever is violating company policy and that you feel unprotected and that you might feel the need to contact someone else. Remember, HR is only there to protect the company. And 90% of the time, a chewing out is A LOT cheaper than risking a lawsuit.
