Been with a company since 2022, got laid off in May due to circumstances out of my control, and returned in august. Come to find my paycheck this morning didn’t have thanksgiving/Black Friday paid for, despite the company being closed for nationals holidays. Curious, I reached out to HR as to why this happened and I received a new PTO/holiday policy enacted in Jan 2025.
The new policy states that they don’t provide holiday/vacation hours until after the employee has worked one continuous year, and because I had a break in between longer than 45 days my previous time here means diddly poo.
This is the fun part, I asked *what* the reasoning for this new policy was and HR slave said she didn’t know, only that it was voted on by the executives. The six of them, in a room, taking away holidays and vacations but will never miss an opportunity pat themselves on the back reiterating what a “great company environment” they’re creating.
You know what?! I would’ve preferred the opposite. At least be honest that you took away a chunk of my paycheck to help fuel your ego. Fucking spineless bastards.
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant, hope everyone has a better holiday than me!
