“PTO Isn’t me requesting time off. It’s me telling you to Prepare The Others because I won’t be there,” one user commented.

Another said that if their PTO request got rejected, they’d simply put in their two-weeks’ notice.

One more quipped, “you spelled ‘figure out who you gone get to cover my shift’ wrong,” as a reaction to the TikTok’s overlay text.

Following the outrage in the comment section, the TikToker released a follow-up video, doubling down. In this iteration, the overlay text reads: “MY ASSOCIATES: SO WHO TIME YOU REJECTING IN JUNE?” The TikToker, who has over 17,000 followers, answered by dancing to the lyric “Everybody” from the Junior Senior song “Move Your Feet.”
