HR enforces nonsensical PTO rule, halves employee's vacation time: '[You] owe us 6 days'

Working at a company with a newly established HR department can lead to the establishment of many a shady policy. We're talking about people who don't really understand what it is to be professional and well-managed steering the ship. If you work at a company like this, you certainly cannot expect a smooth sailing experience. Rest assured, there will be bumps along the way.

Here, we have an employee who took five days off at the end of last year at the request of their boss after the loss of their grandmother. Now, a few months later, she received a shady email from her HR representative stating that she owed six days of PTO and would have those days deducted from this year's number of days. She shared her side of the story via this thread on Reddit, which resulted in widespread outrage and frustration at her situation from folks in the comments (especially those who had been through something similar in their own toxic work environments).
