PTO can be such a contentious issue in already contentious workplaces. If your company is functioning well, an employee should be able to take off whatever days in the year that they please with the paid time off they've earned. If they've earned a 2-week vacation and take a 2-week vacation, the company should not be in utter disarray and on the verge of declaring bankruptcy by the time that employee returns. If that's the case, they do not have enough employees, plain and simple.
Some companies want to control their employee's lives so much that they don't allow them to take time off before or after a holiday. That was the case for this teacher, who decided to get married the Friday before Indigenous People's Day weekend. Even though her principal initially approved her PTO, the school district superintendent threatened to dock her pay because she didn't work on the most important day of her life.
