Work management email: As a thank you for all of your hard work, we would like to offer the team July 5th off! *Fireworks picture of glee attached*

Me, replying all: Silly-ish question, but..do we have to use our PTO to take the 5th off? If so, I would rather work that day.

Management: Yes.

Me to myself: Cool, so no OT like you promised, no raises, buttt..I can follow the normal PTO process to take a day off!!
We got same email. And i pretty much asked same question lol

I bet they are trying to avoid having to pay people for a day at work that will most likely be unproductive, due to so many others being gone. So they "offer" this!

@Degbeme ikr!! "hey guys! we got you a pizza party instead of raises! but it's 8 bucks a slice and you have to come in on Sunday!!"

@foldedunfolding Better off buying your own pizza and eating in bed. 🤭
Yay!!! It's so great to be such a valued member of the team that management writes to inform you all how PTO works...

is it ok to ask what business your company is in? You don't have to name the business.

It is kind of a sleezy tactic. feels like HR / Mgt doesn't really value their workforce enough to shoot straight with them on time off

Even though you're getting screwed out of OT it's still nice to have an extra day. Hope you enjoy it!
