Kraiden@kbin.earth 6 days agoSame in NZ. That would be illegal here. They can force you to take leave, or they can pay you out, but it [can't just poof](Carrying over annual holidays)

Isn’t “go poof” the means by which to force taking leave?

I mean, they can tell YOU to poof, but they can't make your LEAVE go poof like in the op

My last job, I was an engineering team leader. They had me working so much, with different time zones, I was regularly working 70+ hour weeks. There was no time for vacation. So, I had weeks left at the end of the year. It would have gone poof. There was no carry-over. So, December 4th, I made myself go poof. That last paycheck was absolutely delicious. It was multiple paychecks worth. Suck it, old company.
What really sucks is that it was a German company, and the Germans got awesome perks like 35hr work weeks. Beer in the cantina for lunch. They were FORCED to take all their vacation. Instead of asked to cancel.

I still don’t get how an employer FORCES you to take leave. Not rolling over PTO is a reason to coerce people into planning time off.
Now overworking and not approving said PTO would be a different type of fuckery. However, truly unlimited PTO accrual is just a terrible liability for a company.
