My children are the most precious and important thing there is. Therefore I will pay you 6.5 US dollars to keep them away from me at all times. And I do mean at all times; if they're dying, just tell them to suck it up, the important thing is that they are not in my house. This exorbitant wage is not merely charity; in this price I am hiring you as both a nanny and as a maid. Clearly money is no object, but I cannot go any higher as a lot of my expendable income is tied up in the money toilet I worship.

I think America is statistically the country most likely to not use their PTO because it's been beaten into us that it let's the team down to not be here. And then even when you try they deny it because planning ahead for something three weeks out is too hard [Ask] me why my mental health professional testing got delayed two months

The idea of me having to anticipate the impact on the team is so weird. That's what managers are for! We ask for the time,they say yes/maybe if X/no but maybe two weeks later?, done! Especially during the summer, when everyone takes 3-4 weeks off. Find temps, move deadlines around, or the fan favourite, encourage everyone to take the same weeks off and just shut down. So convenient. At my old job we had dealings with an American company, who did not seem to understand "we do not answer email outside our business hours" or "it's the summer, someone will get back to you in two weeks". They were very upset.

I get sometimes with employee turnover or training new people or just scheduling tightness it's hard to get specific days off, but management should be helping employees get time off.

I’m British and wtf is PTO? Is it that thing boomers have where they get 1.5 days paid holiday for every month worked but no one else does because of zero hours contracts?

So convenient. The difference seems to be that in many workplaces here, if you want time off, it's YOUR responsibility to make sure your poo poo is covered. Getting that set up can be a hassle. And if something slips through the cracks you might get a phone call at 2 AM in Japan when you're on vacation. Not that I'm still traumatized by this. learnincurve posted:I’m British and wtf is PTO? Paid Time Off, a blanket category for vacation and other time away from work. This is where we get to shock the filthy foreigners by reminding them that America has no mandated time off for employees whatsoever in most places!

I work in logistics shipping non food or pharmaceutical grade chemicals and it's real common for "LEN THIS IS URGENT MUST SHIP TODAY" and it's never actually urgent because they put it on the cheapest carriers that miss appointments and when I tell them that they just go "oh Saia hasn't been here in 4 days it's fine let it ride"

And I do mean at all times; if they're dying, just tell them to suck it up, the important thing is that they are not in my house. My wife was an au pair when she was younger and she can testify that this is in fact a very common attitude of parents who hire nannies. One family gave my wife very explicit instructions that the kids were to be in bed and asleep by the time they got home in the evening. They really just wanted to see the kids briefly in the morning on week days. She had weekends off, so I guess that's when all the child/parent quality time was had.

That’s what it is. Though PTO in a lot of jobs is accumulated over time rather than a fixed amount you get like vacation days

The American default is 2 weeks "use or lose" PTO. In the name of efficiency your department is kept understaffed so you can't get approved to actually use it. Also in every state but California since you declined to use your PTO they don't have to pay it out when it expires.

Also at many American companies your sick days are not separated from your accumulated PTO. So if you get sick and you already booked your vacation time? You’re either working sick or not getting paid. And don’t even start on parental leave.

You’re either working sick or not getting paid. That was the exact same back in the UK for me too. We lost benefits like sick pay and wage increases for a 'temporary' period while the company needed to make money, and won't you believe it that temporary period is still going to this day.
