Paid Time Off as a concept makes no sense to me. It feels pretty similar to social security and 401ks. Just give me my money, I'll invest it myself, I don't want your products.

Never had a corporate job, so there's my bias I guess. I just can't stop seeing what I call "adult safety blankets" built into corporate society. Lazy? Dumb? I can't explain it.

Not surprised in the slightest. I guess we're emotional animals. Assuming the same compensation was delivered in their paycheck.

I'll just save that money myself, maybe invest it MYSELF, then take more than 2 weeks off because my investment grew.

I guess it helps "force" people to take time off. I know many people that wouldn't take time off until they were forced by management, or their PTO was going to expire. Therefor losing money.
