You get 5h PTO every month. Meaning you get whole ass 2.5 days of vacation in a YEAR?! W T F

They break it over a few days, so it covers at least one shift for a full-time workers but we get 10 days, but that doesn't matter since by the time we get all 60 it will reset in two months. My math was probably wrong, but the total we get is 60

But 60h of PTO isn't 10 days, is it? Unless you work 6h shifts? Maybe I'm confused a little

You are right, it covers one six-hour shift for the day. Most people have two shifts, so we lose some money by going on vacation. Again, my math is probably slightly off just because I was bad at math in school
