Was it a personal invitation, or just a mass group invitation, maybe he didn't

He’s actually a pretty good boss. I rarely speak with him one-on-one. He pretty much lets me do my thing.

I've heard PTO referred to as Pretend Time Off in my company

That's likely a violation of policy. I usually have to work on PTO because of my role but work that

Not normal. Not healthy. Needs to be called out and corrected.

That is completely inappropriate. You should definitely subtract out the time
