minus-squareOneobi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·1 year agoI’ve always found the term Paid Time Off as a degenerative term. Like they are doing you some kind of favour. It’s a holiday, please kill that PTO term.
minus-squareStrykker@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoThe pto thing is because most office/tech jobs let you take unpaid time off too. Just means you won’t make your full salary for the year based on the number of unpaid days you take.
minus-squareOneobi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThe fact that’s also a thing blows my mind. We don’t have that option here. Between the holidays and things like special leave, I’ve never been not paid for taking time off. You can take a years unpaid career break which is kinda cool as your job is guaranteed when you return.
