That vacation policy change sounds like it was a huge improvement. I find it odd you didn’t agree with that? The numbers should be higher but it’s much more fair. Holiday pay should never depend on vacation time, that’s just cruel.
I’ll TLDR it because my problem may have been buried in the details.
Old policy, the sheer amount of hours I had to work meant I had 2 weeks of PTO, plus I had a pocket of time held aside for sick time just in case and I had the time banked for holidays. Anyone else could have gotten the hours, I got them because I helped in the lab which was billable hours, everyone else took off at a moments notice.
New Policy. I had a week of PTO plus holidays. Full stop. Suddenly working a job with those insane hours meant jack and didly.
And I realize it helped the old guard there, made things better for them. But when I was quitting there wasn’t a talking me into staying because it took the very last reason to stay at the company for me.
