Im not saying to not give people off. All I’m saying is there is no context here. From personal experience most people are selfish and there needs to be some kind of structure when giving PTO. Everyone should have an opportunity to be off but many places can’t shut down their business for 2 weeks because the home sports team made the playoffs. Again I’m speaking from experience. Some people need to be told no so that someone else that earned it or asked earlier can be off.

And just to add this but hiring so anyone can be off at anytime is not possible. You are essentially saying it’s ok to discriminate. For example if my business is in a predominantly Christian community many employees will want to be off on Sunday but that is a peak day because after church many people want to eat at my restaurant. Should I then reject any applications from Christian’s so I ensure I am staffed?

Hiring for availability is 100 percent a thing. I’ve filled out an availability chart at every retail job I ever worked. They don’t ask why you aren’t available and it’s about making sure they can cover all of their positions. Discrimination is when you refuse to hire someone because of their religion, and having a bunch of people that are that religion already on staff is generally a pretty good indicator it’s not because of their religion.

It’s absolutely possible to hire so that someone can call off without causing a chain reaction that kills the schedule and triggers over time. Employers just don’t want to do it.

You don’t earn PTO. It comes in your contract and you can request it whenever you want it. Get out of your American bubble.

Earn in the context of they put in a lot of hours to finish a project or whatever.

Also don’t mention contracts if you don’t know what you’re talking about. There are plenty of contracts that offer zero pto. Again it’s all context. I swear y’all just want to argue and don’t even read what I’m typing. Business bad people good. That’s the extent of this argument at this point.

People don’t need to put in extra hours to get the justified amount of PTO that is on their contract.
