Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I have plenty of vacation time. I could take over a month off of work right now if I wanted to, and still have enough left to cover any sick days.
The problem is that I work a night shift, which comes with a pay differential at my job. But that differential doesn't get paid out when I use vacation time. So if I take any time off work, my paycheck that week is significantly lower. Which is the reason I have over a month's worth of vacation hours, because using them means getting paid less so I never end up taking any time off. It's a fucking trap that I can't get out of and it's been driving me insane. I Just need some time off, but I also need to pay the rent.
There's always crime! Working the night shift brings all sorts of possibilities!
So you have vacation time, but not paid time off?
I believe they’re saying that they have paid time off, but it’s paid at the rate for day shift workers. Since they always work night shift (which has a pay bump) that means the paid time off pays less than they normally get.
I also interpreted it as you said, and also how the other commenter did.
Where I live, you get vacation pay based on your work pay. To me, if my vacation pay weren't based on my work pay, it wouldn't really be vacation pay to me.
