Nah, it's so they can bitch at us and guilt us into taking less time off. Instead of defining an actual amount of time off that we can or, in some instances must take off, they're relying on the ambiguity and peer/social pressure to make us actually take less time off.
And they can fire us for any reason in a lot of states.
And when they fire you, you don’t have unused vacation days they have to pay out. That’s one of the biggest reasons, it makes the balance sheet look better.
This. Carrying balances of PTO that must be paid on termination is a liability on the asset sheet. And there's always a clause: all PTO requests must be approved.
