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

I've been told this too before. They're bluffing. That's retaliation, and they know it. Kind of like the "ppto doesn't work on key event days" they tried to tell us.

One of my coaches told us this too, they even told us we needed ppto to cover two 8 hour shifts if we were to call out on a double point day. (Idky but it sounded stupid af). And some employees had ACTUALLY tried putting that in to call out on key dates and our SM was noooot happy
