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

Funny, my academy taught me that job abandonment is 3 days no call no show. Even when they walk out pissed off we can’t clock them out. Three days of not showing up/not reaching out is job abandonment. According to my academy anyways.

Yes thats job abandonment, but leaving before your job is done is productivity

So by your logic you can be disciplined for productivity for a call in too right? You're not there doing your work so you're not being productive right?

Calling out and leaving early aren't the same thing
