    As they should… What’s the alternative here? Let the company’s schedule be determined by sporadic PTO usage that they are expected to have no control over?

      How do those boots taste? Jesus Christ!

      I’m happy that in my country we have employment laws and shit like this wouldn’t fly. I put in PTO requests to use my 25 days paid leave they’re always accepted because I don’t work for fucking ghouls.

      My company understands that I provide my skills and time in exchange for money and they’re not more important than the individuals that work there. They also realise that a good work life balance is better for employee retention and happiness, meaning that you can keep your best staff and they don’t leave for somewhere that treats you better.

      The alternative is not failing the logistics skill check you’re ostensibly supposed to be good at as a manager. If you’re in such dire straits as a business that you cannot possibly approve PTO, your problem will not be fixed firing the employee who at least did you the courtesy of warning you that they wouldn’t be available that day.

      If a business can’t function when a single employee goes off on leave then it doesn’t deserve to survive. Survival of the fittest, innit?
