Employee's PTO Revoked After a Jealous Boss Claims He's 'Never Taken [a Vacation] That Long, Why Should You?'

To avoid giving employees actual real benefits, a lot of big companies have adopted the notion of 'unlimited PTO'. After numerous studies have shown that employees with unlimited days off actually take fewer vacations, every CEO and supervisor within 1,000 leagues jumped on the bandwagon. When employees are taking less than 10 days a year of vacation, that means they're working constantly– woohoo!

However, there are a few 'rogue' employees who understand that unlimited PTO means UNLIMITED PTO. That's a tough opportunity to pass up if you think about it. Who are we to question the laws of the land in the workplace? In our next story though, a guy who was happy to cash in on his unlimited vacation time got snubbed because his boss decided to change the rules. Out of spite, OP's PTO was denied, but that certainly doesn't mean he's going to let them walk all over him. 

Scroll for all the details of how a rebellious worker brought out the rules of the petty handbook and taught his jealous boss a lesson.
