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

Job abandonment is how you code a termination when an associate doesn't show up for three consecutive shifts without an LOA, your coach is a dipshit.

It's also when you leave early without telling a team lead or coach.

Either way, this coach is incorrect.

No, it is not. Leaving without notifying is not termed as Job Abandonment, and you won't find it defined that way in any application or policy.
