  • True crime is not far off from crime documentary. If anything I could see people arguing they’re the same and it would really just come down to semantics.

    To me, a " crime documentary" is a show or episode covering a specific crime or suspect. A True Crime podcast (or show, vlog, etc.) tends to cover a new crime or suspect each episode.

    If anything, I would argue True Crime shows are a series of mini-documentaries so-to-speak.

    Another thing to consider would be production value. When I hear “Documentary” I think of something I would see on TV or a streaming service. In other words I think of something backed by money.

    When I hear “True Crime” I think of podcasts or vloggers. Typically a person or small group of people doing their own research and producing their own content.

    A True crime podcast I’d recommend would be Small Town Murder. My wife will listen to it as we’re doing chores around the house and I would catch myself paying attention from time to time.

    Are you allowed to carry over PTO hours? I might just be a pessimist, but my immediate thought is if they ever have to let anybody go, they don’t want to pay-out accrued PTO hours.

    At my previous place, there was one employee that NEVER took PTO for some insane reason. Had saved up like 2 months of PTO.

    He was told by HR he had too many hours and needed to use some PTO time. This specific scenario is not unheard of.

    However, a month or so after he came back from a month and a half of PTO, he got laid off for reasons unknown to me.

    Rumors are they didn’t want to pay-out the PTO.

    Honestly it doesn’t make sense, they had to pay him for the PTO anyways, but when has HR made sense?
