PTO, you only get back PTO you bought, not the hours you accure, if you see the writing on the wall, go use it all, otherwise you will lose it. Doesn't matter how much you have, you only get the "flex vacation" you had the option to buy.

Is accrued PTO not paid out upon departure anymore? But PTO that had been used but not accrued is subject to repayment? Seems like the worst of both worlds on the employee end. Would be better off switching to unlimited PTO at this rate.

Anyone else struggling with finding employment?

With layoff happening every quarter, what do we even by this principle of "Thrive Together"? We know every company goes through this but doing this every quarter? Is that really what will power our culture?

So I recently joined the bank, I’m non exempt employee, which means I need to be paid for over time. But I never report OT, since I feel like my manager wouldn’t like that. And my manager works nonstop. I mean I’ve seen him replying emails on Sunday... — read more

A complete joke of a Company that uses the PIP GO process to wrongly grade employees as low performers or partially meet in order to not payout severance that is due to an employee. If that happens, you will pay 5x more.

Big rush to half as* rush to announce the formation of this group. All due to the new P-M. 🙄 Man the consultant got one over on our EC
