@@ChristianJMare you really advocating for this? PTO should be a request. lets say a company 10 employees.. and all want the same week off.. that's a week of No Profit and shut down, but have to pay all for PTO? what if a whole Dept at a larger firm went on PTO. at the same time, Like IT for example. computer issue happens.. or company gets hacked and loses confidential data without knowing it... Network goes down... well, company will be grinded to a halt until people return to work. PTO needs to be co-ordinated to the benefit of BOTH Employer and employee.

I love it 5 years ago I put in for a PTO day and my boss gave me such a hard time about it that my co-workers (who had been there more years than me and dealt with similar problems) told me just to call out sick instead of trying to give them ample notice. It’s worked ever since (6am phone call to the answering machine … and have a nice day) 😂😂😂😂😂

our company has a rule that you can't book time off in time in august or the Harbour festival, I had a family thing going on and they told me I couldn't so I did exactly this and called in sick.

I did this something like this, to my boss and I had loopholes too, after that he just paid me double so I could stop pulling theses loopholes, at work.

All one has to do is start preparing a new job from the moment PTO is denied. No job is irreplaceable. They can write you up and threaten to fire you all they want; you can leave at-will and find a job that respects your outside of work life. Too many people think a job is something they should value above themselves and their families. It’s just a thing you do to get money. Whether you’re a C-Level, Director, or Seasonal Employee. Do what’s best for you, not what’s best for a company.

If it's wedding and other family stuff I see no issues as family comes first. My one Uncle told Costco (his job after retiring from Ford to stay busy) upon hiring that he takes a family retreat to FL every year for 2 months. He lied and said it was a religious retreat that he has done for 30+ years (the length of time is real) my cousins always got out of school for months to be in FL straight A students too. It's just what they did. So Costco says no issues, and there wasn't for a few years. Then someone new comes in and says "wait, what?" and says look you are scheduled to work he looked at her and said "I'm not asking you I'm just letting you know I'll be gone per the agreement" and that is what he did, he came back and they didn't fire him...LOL I remember him saying they tried to make him employee of the month and he turned it down, he said "look I show up I do my job and I will not park in the spot etc give it to someone else". He said employees were nasty about that stuff they all fought to get it etc and it does nothing for you. I guess that is what being retired vs having to NEED the job is like. Family stuff, I'm not asking I'm saying LOOK I won't be in I'm just being nice and letting you know months out. Honestly I have never had an issue in the past, one place encouraged us to take unpaid time off which I did....LOL They then went under.

Жыл бұрын

@@jabbajawz Would it be fair to say that BOTH people in this scenario were being a jerk? The big thing for me is that it boils down to respect and professionalism. And yes, I apply that to BOTH the manager and the employee in this scenario. Let's start at the beginning. I assume this fictional workplace is like most actual workplaces that have clearly written policies, including policies around PTO and how it must be approved. The employee in this video came with an attitude from the start and TOLD his boss that he wouldn't be showing up one week in the future. Like he put it, it was not a discussion and not a conversation. He just would not be there that week. Just that alone shows that the employee has no respect for the policies and has no respect for his manager. So already he's putting his manager on the defensive. Managers, just like everyone else are human, and as you saw, his reaction to being disrespected was to deny the request. Not condoning it or saying that's right. I'm just saying that he's human and can make emotional decisions when put on the spot as he was. Now, what COULD the employee have done differently? He could have had a respectful conversation to start. He could have approached his manager respectfully and had a discussion around needing to take that week off. He could have said, "I would like to request X week off for a very important event. This just came up and I understand Nancy is already scheduled off that week so I'm happy to work with you on a plan and brainstorm coverage options." Do you see how that could be received a little different than: "Hey, I don't care what the policy is or what you say, I'm taking this time off, I bought my tickets without even having a discussion, and you can figure out any problems with running the department on your own." You say "all employees are worth more than this" but don't seem to include that manager as an employee. There seems to be this notion that managers are some evil corporate robots who earn millions and do nothing all day but count their stacks of money. In reality, most people's managers are only a level or two above the employee and prolly only make a few thousand more than the employee. They're just employees themselves and are trying to do their job. Yes, the employee deserves to take their PTO. All employees do. But the manager deserves respect and deserves a discussion around how he can help the employee take the time off he needs while also figuring out how to keep business running. A lot of the comments I read are "well, the manager can just do the work then." Again, this assumes the manager doesn't already have their own work and that the department can run with one person. What if the manager has a scheduled medical procedure that week? Is the assumption that managers should give up their health and PTO for their direct reports? Again, point is, a good workplace should be built on mutual respect because at the end of the day, whether you're an entry level employee, a manager, or the CEO, we are all people.

My supervisor when every they had a call in would call my shift and everyone said no. When they asked me I told them no. They were like okay. They started asking everyone on first shift if they wanted to come in to work third shift and they all said no. Well supervisor called back and was like I need someone to stay. Like really you can’t come in. Oh I am at a wedding or I am just now getting home. Excuse after excuse was made and it made me angry because they were the 3rd shift supervisor and was in charge of making the schedule. There was one time that I had asked for Thursday-Monday off because I was going to be out of town. They only gave my Friday-Sunday off. I worked extra hours to have extra money and then boom. Did not go to work I went to see my brother graduate from basic training. They called me the following day and I said well I am on the road and I told you I was not going to be in town. I got in trouble but they wanted me to come in for third shift and I wanted to sleep.

My bad your confused tickets bought my boy you gone be working for me and Nancy

This is why I submitted all my PTO requests at least 30 days in advance - this way if they were denied I could submit my resignation and cash out the time while penalizing the company for treating me like shit.

No secret. If you ever get denied pto, you're calling out from then on out.

That is retaliation and is reportable.

This is the reason why Im leaving the company. 😅 On top of the Power trip.

The middle was kinds lame but the end was gold!

I requested pto 2 months in advanced it got denied because we’re short staff they had 2 months to hire someone look for someone and they’re telling to call other stores to see if they can cover me that’s bs

I got mine denied for 1 day, i came in cause it wasn't a big deal until they cut my hours to 9 hours for a week. Shoulda just not showed up i am a human being and 17 still I dont care about some job i was going to leave after i graduated anyways

Agreed. Been on both sides of this coin. For most enterprises, there is a minimum staff level required to operate. In some industries, like healthcare, that minimum is a regulatory mandate beyond the power of the company. Staffing is a delicate game, and there is no way to win the "so hire more people" argument from entitled employees who don't understand that if everyone got their way every time, everyone would also be looking for a new job because that company would go under. This is the unlovely backside of the 24/7/365 world that consumers up and down the economy expect - and I'm not necessarily saying that's a good expectation, either. My kingdom to go back to the time when practically everything but emergency services shut down on holidays and Sundays. Personally, it is not fun to deny a PTO request, especially around holidays (which my company already holds as paid non-work days), but if any employee, myself included, wants a paycheck to come back to, it sometimes has to happen. Holiday weeks, and even the weeks of some major sporting or hobby events, are especially high-demand, and requests are first-come, first-get - it is absolutely the ONLY fair way to manage it. It doesn't matter how many people are hired, there quite simply comes a point where we cannot operate with one more person in XYZ department planned off on a given day - if we all had our 'druthers, we'd all be "living our best life" somewhere other than the office or jobsite. Holiday weeks go fast, and I strongly encourage people to plan and organize accordingly. We don't have a minimum time horizon to submit a request - if you tell me you need the third week of October in 2037 off, I'll gladly put it in my calendar today. Common sense to me to plan "fun stuff" around the activity that ultimately foots the bill for the fun. Prepare The Others? From personal experience, if you're denied a requested PTO day(s), you've been "The Others" for some time.

You actually can’t do that. The supervisor is well within his rights to now ask for a sick slip for every day you are absent. Normally they shouldn’t ask until the 3rd consecutive day except when the supervisor has reason to believe the employee is intentionally faking it. This is terrible advice.
