#vacation

I know there was recently a change regarding what counts as in-office but can’t find the email. Do vacation days count as in-office days for a week or no? I only know the holidays no longer do, but not sure how vacation days are counted towards the 3.

Just curious, how many days of PTO do you all typically take in a year? I know we have to get another approval for above 15 days.

People here are saying employees below director will get 20 days a year, with only five days rolling over, while directors get unlimited vacation. If that's right, does the 20-day amount apply regardless of years of service? What happens to vacation people have already banked? Does the five-day rollover limit start in 2028? Will there be any option to cash out unused days? And how will “unlimited” vacation work for directors in practice? I'm seeing different takes on this and would appreciate the actual details.

Thoughts/prayers?

I enjoyed my vacation but now it's back to reality. Did I miss anything important?

If you were hired externally, your vacation service date may not match your interpretation of your offer. It isn't visible in Workday, so you won't notice a discrepancy unless you ask.

To check, submit an HR ticket and ask them to look up your vacation service date and how it was calculated. Then compare it to what your offer letter or recruiter said about crediting prior experience.

The vacation policy was updated on April 1 this year to better align the offer language with the years credited, so if you were hired before that date, it's worth confirming which version of the policy was applied to you.

Anyone putting in their vacation now for around Thanksgiving and Christmas? How do you feel about so senior coworker not even do a thing at work?

How does everyone plan to spend that extra cash.

Will they pay out unused vacation?
Can they block my next start date via legal action?

I've heard horror stories about deductions and unpaid vacation for folks who quit. Anyone deal with that?

Can we use remaining sick time during the two week notice? Do we get paid out remaining vacation time?

What is behind that Smile?

Recently I went on vacation. People commented that I was more like myself after a few days.

When I returned to work the bitterness and frustration returned by lunchtime. The only path for me is out of here.

Incompetent and inept Accenture workers treated like the "stars of the show" when they are sh-t. Once something comes up complicated or they do not have For Dummies style steps to go through they are fked. And there are too many managers.

Why can't they fire some of them for a change? They won't have to do year end/bonus reviews or approve timesheets for the offshore workers. They have their own boss in their country who will lie for them, just like they did when they passed off unskilled workers as "experienced".

There used to be a saying "You get what you pay for". It needs to make a comeback. They are so high on the "savings" they will blast through this place with a chainsaw. Next level clown management. I noticed that in many cases only white men are kept after the cuts.

Really take stock of how you are when in office and when away for an appreciable amount of time. This place is toxic and should come with a warning label. At some point the money is just not worth it.

Are you allowed to take your vacation? My manager is not allowing me to
Does this mean he is planning something?

Any housekeeping tips I should keep in mind as I plan to put in my 2 weeks?

Tips to ensure a smooth vacation payout or pension payout? Or rolling over my 401k? Things of that nature. Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have a week planned vacation during my notice period. Do I have to cancel my trip? I cannot risk getting "fired" due to concerns of health insurance and family medical issues.

Most likely next week, that way no need to come to office and you will have 2 weeks paid, plus severance, plus unused vacation.

How can I get the paid vacation to North Carolina?

Can anyone confirm if carryover vacation is paid out when you quit?

anyone have experience working with an attorney to negotiate your severance package? trying to see if this is worth my while. also leadership is threatening not to allow me to use my vacation time during the last two weeks, even though the language in the severance paperwork is vague and says vacation/sick cannot "typically" be used during your last 2 wks..work with your PL if "unique" situation. Thanks all. I am so ready to be done with this mindf*ck of a place.

Are other Sam's Clubs denying vacations put in well in advance, being told that there is lack of coverage. And that there is a blackout from October until December? What good is PTO time if your managers control when you can use it. Seems a bit shady.

Just make an educated guess when asked. Who knows where anyone will be for the holidays, it feels like a long ways away.

What happens with banked vacation (e.g. 200 hrs) if I get rebadged?

Will that transfer?
Will that be lost?
Will that be payed out?

If you return to work for Pepsi after your severance ends, does the company count all your previous years of service towards vacation time ?
Anyone dealt with this situation ?

I had heard but it’s not been verified that for those of us leaving 9/4 that we should be careful and not use all our vacation time left because we haven’t actually earned time for Oct, Nov or Dec. Can someone co firm? I know we can’t take time last 2 weeks because that’s clearly written on the FAQ.

Question 1 - Is there the option to defer severance to the next calendar year? Question 2 - Is remaining vacation paid with normal paycheck or with the severance?

A significant chunk of the team is gone and seems like a common pattern is that they took a healthy amount of PTO in general. A colleague also barely took PTO but was recently forced by their manager to take leaves and maintain good balance and they did, and were laid off now. Almost all of them took a long time off summer.

Any similar pattern in your teams? Feeling worried and more hesitant to take PTO now after this. Was planning a visit to see family but thinking of cancelling it now.

Sell your stocks and take some rests for a nice vacation. Let LBT do your works

First thank you to this community for all the early info & giving me the confidence that I wasn’t alone in feeling this way.

9 year g-n who interned and hired on. The company has changed and I’ve finally had enough.

Couple questions for this board:

• what vacation is payed out? Should I take all my comp & carryover?
• is there a practical way to negotiate the annual compensation value of the pension with new company? Pension tool not helpful
• print out any important health documents
  Any other tips?

Also, for those wanting to leave… yes it’s not the post covid market, but there are companies looking for talented employees. If you are here you are talented and will be valued elsewhere.

Assuming we get notified 7/27 and that most people's end date is 9/4, that only gives 5 weeks for everyone to use up vacation and personal time. They don't want us taking PTO within 2 weeks of separation, so all vacation has to be used by 8/21. I don't know about everyone else, but I've got 16 days of vacation/sick time to burn, and I'm not the only one in my department who has admitted to applying for the VSP. If we all get accepted with the default exit date, my team will be running at 40% capacity. It will be a good preview of the sh-t show that they are about to walk into.

Hello from the otherside. Just wanted to reach out to y'all and see what kind of rumors and info we can swap.

Big thing for us this last week was our 3% automatic retirement contribution was canceled, and now all vacation time has to be used up by 12/31 every year or you lose it. No vacation time rollovers.

The rumor behind the vacation change, is that there will be big layoffs in Q1 2027, and this way they don't have to pay out the accumulated time.

Severance here (from a round in 2025) was 2 weeks per year of service, unclear on upper end caps and 1 month of benefits.

What are you hearing on your end?

RAP going away sounds like generic cost cutting to me. But losing all of your vacation at the end of the calendar year just means it’s far cheaper to lay people off in Q1 2027.

Are people taking time off this summer? Or will they take that against us for the next go-round?

I go on vacation tomorrow and my manager wanted to make sure I had my phone with me. "Why? More layoffs", I asked.

She confirmed yes. I told her if I'm hit, just call me in Japan and rip the band aid off.

Happy vacation to me!

If we suspect that we will be RIFd can we use up our future vacation? Would it be deducted from our final pay or have to pay back?

I may have used up all of mine for a nice long trip earlier this year. LMAO definitely don’t realize we’d be here looking at VSP and RIFd.

If you are in Minneapolis, make sure you use your vacation time before you quit. They apparently don’t pay out unused vacation anymore for several states that allow it? Just learned from my friend that got out and lost a week.

With the talk of upcoming layoffs happening on 7/16, how sure are we that retail will be affected? Like 60/40? 80/20? 100? I'll be on vacation for that day so I'm just curious if I'll be coming back to the news lol
