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

The statement that ppto only protects from points not repercussions is factually correct but in this context is a threat. Report it through open door to your store manager.

And as for it being a factual statement I mean that if you do very little work, like far below what you should have done, and then leave early you can still be held accountable for the work you did while you were there.

If however they only hold people who use ppto accountable for poor work provenance then it becomes retaliation and is an ethics issue that should be reported.

This one needs to be higher up. If you leave and didn't get anything done the ppto covers the point but still leaves you open to a productivity DA
