This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not sure where you're from, but it's pretty common here in Australia. I think there are a few things to addresses.
There are two mechanisms a company might make you take leave.
A company shut down period. Eg company is closed over Christmas to new years and requires employees to take a week of leave then.
Over a threshold of leave. Leave won't evaporate at the end of a calendar year, it builds each day and can only be used or paid out. Companies will often have a threshold, for example 8 weeks of leave before they may require you to create a plan to use it, or pay it out. The reason an employer does this is staff leave is a liability on the books. Eg If you make $100k, 8 weeks leave is approprimately a $16k liability for the employer.
8 weeks. Haha man that's like a pipe dream.
I think PTO works kind of the same in most places? My point is you can't really force an employee to take PTO and if they ignore their PTO policy that should be on them.
If a business closes down for Xmas new years, then you're but really taking PTO right? Workplace is closed. If you force PTO to be taken and most of your staff dragged their feet or didn't read their email, then essentially you're unable to operate for the last month of every year
