This is why whenever I read an article reporting on a scientific study, I always click the source link to read the abstract of the actual paper (or more if it isn’t behind a fucking paywall, but the abstract gives the gist of what was studied and the results).

Probably all the same company tracking which variations in how they advertise it get the most clicks.

Take paid time off (PTO) means take your vacation time (or combined vacation/sick time). Otherwise no one would pick the “come in and clean or train” option.

I once worked at a place where every year they shut down the week between Christmas and New Year’s and you had to take a week of your vacation time then whether you wanted to or not (and we only got 2 weeks/yr). I started working there the first week of December, so I was immediately in the hole for 1 week of vacation time. It was such bullshit.
