VTO is an acronym for Voluntary Time Off.

If your work offers this, it is as addicting as crack. To get to be one of the lucky ones to actually get VTO, you must have lightening fast reflexes in submitting a request for it when it is released by your company's OPs team, and know how to read the WorkForce metrics tables so that you may anticipate its release. First ones to put in a request, and have it pass in the system as a valid request, will earn precious time off from work. Perhaps a half an hour, perhaps the entire day. Once that happens, you have crossed over into the obsessive/compulsion addiction; welcome to the darkside. A job without actually working (or getting paid).
"I was stalking VTO like a ninja when I couldn't stand it any longer. It'd been hours since I had peed. I -ran- to the bathroom, and -flew- back to my station. By the time I got back, it had been released and was gone. I missed getting my entire day off tomorrow. Anybody got that link to the HERinal website?"

Abbreviation for Viral Terminal Organism. A Viral Terminal Organism is a virus that enters your body whenever you voluntarily leave work before the end of your regularly scheduled shift. It is transmitted by IEX, which despite claiming to be a "nice company", isn't so nice afterall. Basically, you leave work early, you die. Just like AIDS. VTO is thus another way to force you to stay, working in slave-like conditions, all the while corporate jabronies deepen their pockets off of your productivity. Also of note, it is the opposite of taking extended hours, which of course results in cold hard cash.
"Man, don't even think of leaving work early today. You will contract the VTO, and die a horrible death. That **** is dangerous."
