Former employers claims ex-employee owes them 20 PTO hours despite previously claiming they'd cover it: 'He can come and get it'

It's never a good idea to owe somebody money. You should avoid it at all costs if you can. But sometimes you can't. And then you have to deal with the consequences. That said, it can be a terrible feeling-- owing someone money. You feel it itch in the back of your mind. 

What's even worse is finding out you owe money that you didn't expect to owe, especially if you're on a tight budget (like most people in the world). You've probably figured out what you can spend for the month, and any change in that might drastically set you off course. You might have an emergency fund, but hopefully those funds can be saved for real emergencies, not paying for PTO that your company said you had. But that's what happened to the employee in this story, who encountered a tough situation after her company was bought out by a larger one. She thought that everything would transfer over smoothly, but she thought wrong. So she turned to the internet for a little advice.
