The frustration isn’t just about losing a PTO day. It’s about the message it sends. Employees are expected to absorb the inconvenience, while the company keeps its payroll costs down. It feels like a bait-and-switch, where the promise of paid time off is quietly erased the moment it’s actually needed. The question of legality is fair, but the real sting is the sense of unfairness. When the option to work is gone, demanding PTO feels less like policy and more like a power move.

Work is forcing us to use PTO due to a weather-related closure

People don’t expect free days off, but they do expect fairness. Asking employees to use vacation time for a closure they didn’t cause is like charging someone rent for a house that’s been condemned. The storm doesn’t care about payroll, and employees shouldn’t be expected to either. The real issue isn’t the lost day. It’s the feeling that when the chips are down, the burden always falls on the same people.

Some companies will always find ways to pass the cost of chaos onto their staff. The only thing colder than the weather is the expectation to smile and say thanks for the privilege.
