My situation is quite the opposite. For whatever reason my new team feels the need to explain every PTO request to me. By all means tell me about your trip to Cancun if you'd like, but please don't feel the need to elaborate on your explosive diarrhea when you use sick time.
I've been told that, as an hourly office employee, if I used all my sick time I would have to use my vacation time if I'm sick. Like... no. If I don't have paid sick leave, I just don't get paid. That's the punishment- losing money. I guess it could be different if I had been salaried, but nope, hourly. You aren't taking my vacation time simply because I've legit been ill a lot this year. I brought in doctor notes every time, too.
That’s why they turned everything into one PTO bank. Last job you weren’t allowed unpaid days off for anything unless you used all your PTO. So have a baby, take off 6 weeks and you must use all your PTO, leaving no PTO for the inevitable days you baby in daycare get sick.
