We’re a billion+ dollar company, and this policy change takes about 8 million bucks off the balance sheet adds about $8 million to the officers' bonuses.

Fixed it.

Also, I'd argue that those benefits were promised to you as a condition of your employment and belonged to you, not the company, so the company can't just wipe them away.

How do I even begin to investigate something like that? I don’t have a contract or anything like that.
 
Investigate?

Do you have paystubs that showed you had accrued vacation time? I'd argue that the accrued vacation time is yours, not theirs.

I can screen shot the fact that I have accrued vacation. Supposedly it’s a state-by-state legal thing. I’ll have to talk to an Iowa lawyer I know, I suppose.

My company (30 billion) did this in 2008, but let the employees “use it or lose it”…some tenured folks took the rest of the year off. Definitely bullshit.

Yeah, we we told on Monday. Giving us four months to “use it or lose it.” Just not enough time, especially considering a bunch of people will be taking the ERP offer.

Newbie Star Trek does this. When they first started doing Express VPN ads, one of the guys on the show basically said, "Look, I didn't know what a VPN was before this. The way it was explained to me was it helps protect you from people getting into your shit and that you're essentially raw dogging the Internet without it. So wrap that shit up and get Express VPN."

This is 100% worth it. Its a frustrating step but the squeaky wheel gets the oil, those benefits and your hard work can vanish if you don't put up a fight. Very sorry this is happening. I have to ask, no worker's union?

Life is about to jump off the rails. If I seem pissy (or more pissy than usual), I'm going apologize now - because @Mrs Poker Zombie and I are not backing down from anything for the next 4 months.

Let this be your outlet. Much love, this is the thread that cancer belongs in for sure.

PTO just turned into TO and they effectively just gave everyone a pay cut.

How is this legal without making up the compensation with your salary or hourly wage?

I think it largely depends if the individual(s) are salaried vs hourly.

Stay strong, friend. There are more and better treatments constantly being developed.

I know American labor laws are garbage in a lot of states, but this is definitely worth chatting with a lawyer about to see if you have any options.

Fuck the mega corps...

Hang in there. My wife dealt with breast cancer this year and handled it like a champ. She is cancer free and recovering well.
 
College I went. Many PTSD flashbacks especially begin of September every year to late November.

That’s why I started driving at 25. I got my license at 18, but I was too scared and felt I’m too young to take responsibilities.

Back then, I only drove to practice driving and get used to it. That’s it.

Now, getting to work/interview. Head to casino when I had a job. I’m a slow driver which is unusual in my age.

Someday, when the last Vegas chip is destroyed and all casino games are electronic, we can look back at Tina's foray into chipping and say "This was the beginning of the end".

Alas, but also the start of the home game explosion....
