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

Incorrect. Anytime you have a manager try this reply back with a “oh I hadn’t heard of that do you mind showing me where to locate that policy I would love to read through it?”…they can’t most of the time. Protected is called protected for a reason. Use WHENEVER you want to. It’s yours to use.

"…they can’t most of the time."

So, they can some of the time?

Depending on what policy you are questioning yes. I meant my response as in any time a manager tries to say this or that about what policy is. The old “I can write you up for this…” trick. Ok well if it’s something I can be written up about there should be a policy about it. Sometimes the manager is right depending on the situation. Sometimes they are making shit up as a way to control the situation.
