what in the world is PTO? best guess from context is holidays. but why would anyone make it a 3 letter acronym? i am sure any 3 letter acronym has at least 3 different meanings in different contexts...

but if PTO actually is holidays, yes take them. don't let some third world country grifters, like you find them often in the usa, redefine words and take away basic things - just because they call it slightly different.

I actually enjoy answering emails when I’m off work but I guess I like my job

Any company that can’t function without a team member to this degree is under staffed and poorly ran. You can’t hinge operations on any one talent. This Priv person has real work / life issues or is just a greedy boss.

Heed the wisdom of the ancients.

If you want European pro tips:

1. While in internship, slap your employer with "Oh hi, by the way, THIS is my union" and if the response is anything other than "Okay, cool! I'll check their collective bargaining agreement for our next meeting" maybe start looking for next post, just saying.
2. If you are in internship or whatever, and your employer has not asked anything about union details or whatever until last week, yeah, you might as well start preparing for disappointment.

Or ask for a massive raise, and take the PTO anyway.
