If you could take 1-2 hours off, you wouldn't feel as guilty about it, so you'd use up more of your PTO. Because you have to take full days, you feel guilty, so it goes unused and eventually expires, giving the company more labour for their salary dollars.

My company gives us PTO hours instead of days so you can request a half day. I actually take advantage of this because I'm salary whereas some other aren't. I'll leave early or come in late if I have a doctor's appointment or something else i need to do without requesting off. I'm in management and big boss is in another state so as long as everything is getting done I'm good. But I also do work hard at my job and work overtime a decent amount so i don't feel guilty taking an hour or two here and there without requesting off. The guys I work with like me and don't make a stink about it because I also give them leeway when they need to do things outside of work. And I get about 15 work days pto in total hours. Not amazing but many people get 2 weeks or less
