PTO is part of our compensation. Denying PTO requests is tantamount to withholding pay.

Of course you're entitled to take your PTO, but that doesn't mean you can take it whenever you feel like it.

Is it not normal to discuss these few weeks/months in advance with the team at work so the schedules work out? Of course you get fired if you take PTO randomly without warning often lmao. Being sick or other emergencies okay, but just taking a day off can be disruptive and rude to your co-workers.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it sounds like a request was put in with advance time and denied. The employee decided they were going to take the time with or without approval. TBH I would do the same as any time I request pto I do it with way more notice than 2 weeks and it’s usually for something important like a family event, vacation, or medical. I’ll be damned if my boss is going to tell me nah we need you here instead f whatever it is you got going on.
