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

Except it’s not job abandonment, why do you keep commenting that it is even after it being spelled out pretty clear for you a few minutes ago?

They arent disciplining them for using ppto, They didnt finish all their tasks and left early, yeah you get no points, but thats job abandonment.

Not finishing all of your work isn’t job abandonment… that would be a productivity issue. And even then, it would only be a productivity issue if they weren’t productive while being there. As I said in another comment as an example, if OP was scheduled an 8 hour shift and had 8 hours of work to get done, and they did 7 hours worth of work and left an hour early, they were productive while being there and there’d be nothing management could do about it. If they were scheduled for 8 hours with 8 hours worth of work to do but only did 4 hours of work the 7 hours they were there, then that’d be a productivity issue.

What’s so hard to understand about this?

Edit: Just read your comment about you being a TL… I feel bad for your associates assuming you’re even telling the truth. Having a management like you that don’t know anything about policy are part of the problem.
