Veteran's Day and an Etiquette Question
2003-04-18 - 9:35 a.m.
Not so Good Friday
Well, they've changed our PTO system (they shouldn't be able to do this in the middle of the year... it's not right).
Before, they front-loaded all of the 18 days worth of PTO and you could use it at will, but it had to be at a zero balance at the end of the year, or you had to pay it back.
Since people are leaving like rats deserting a sinking ship and not paying back the leave they took, they've changed the system.
Now, we can't take it if we don't have it, we accrue it. And we don't accrue it for the two pay periods they don't take out our medication insurange premiums.
I understand the reasoning behind it, but they should stick with one decision not change it mid-stream. So as it stands right now, I'm 36.25 in the hole.
There's no way I can accrue that before Pennsic, and they now won't approve PTO until the negative balances are cleared up. Had they stayed with the current system, I would have taken two days as unpaid and still got paid for the other four.
I'm still going to Pennsic; I'm just going to have to search for that elusive job a LOT harder than I have been.
I just don't think they should be able to make arbitrary decisions like this. They did the same thing with paychecks back in January.
The day is cold and rainy, just like my mood. I didn't wake up that way, it just kinda headed in that direction. I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to understand men, we do speak a different language from them, and it's just someone's eternal joke. No matter how clear I think I'm being, I'm evidently not clear enough. No matter how much I think I deserve at least empathy, I've got to "suck it up" and deal. I give it to those around me in spades, so why is it I have such a hard time getting it from those I care about?
It's never going to change, no matter what I say or how I word it. I feel stuck. If I had my way, I'd stay home in my clean house by myself, with my puppies and just enjoy the solitude, but no, I can't.*sigh* and this is only April.
Iv'e got production work to get done, so I'd best be at it.
Happy Easter Everyone!
