Have you ever heard of "PTO" working like this?

Thank you and happy chatting!
but I do get paid for it, and the position is hourly. it's weird because it quite literally is paid time off, but not Paid Time Off, ya know
Hey a day paid weekday off to do things that are normally closed on weekends doesn't sound terrible to me, I wouldn't read too far into it
Yeah but PTO to me is more of anything ranging from 'hey I don't feel like working today I'm not coming in' (although tbh if you have sick days you should use them for that kind of stuff imo) to 'hey I'm going on a week long trip in August, I will be out between X-Y dates'.
It sounds like your PTO is more 'you get X weekday off every 3 weeks' with zero flexibility.
Without that flexibility, at least to me, it is less PTO and more of a 'scheduled paid day off'. I'm acting like I haven't recently had a PTO request denied at work that wound up pissing me off (my supervisor constantly says I am like the sole person on the team who rarely takes sick days/PTO) because my supervisor, when I asked why it was denied, told me 'sorry we have too many people out that week' - which to me isn't how PTO should work. I should be able to take it whenever I want, I already earned the time off and I requested it off like a month in advance so it shouldn't be on me to ensure there's an adequate amount of people working - that's a 'earns $10.00/hour more than me but does like 60% less work' supervisor's job!!!
But who knows, it may actually be one of those ideal situations! I just wouldn't vibe with it personally and would probably not accept the position based on that unless they ensured me that I could at the very least, schedule when I'd be off.
