I've always found the term Paid Time Off as a degenerative term. Like they are doing you some kind of favour.

It's a holiday, please kill that PTO term.

    The pto thing is because most office/tech jobs let you take unpaid time off too. Just means you won't make your full salary for the year based on the number of unpaid days you take.

    The fact that's also a thing blows my mind.

    We don't have that option here. Between the holidays and things like special leave, I've never been not paid for taking time off.

    You can take a years unpaid career break which is kinda cool as your job is guaranteed when you return.
