I just wanted to chime in real quick before I start working today. I think our time off system in the workplace is stupid. So you’re telling me I could work some place for a few years, accrue a lot of vacation time, then if I get laid off, quit, or GOD forbid fired, and I start a new job… I have to start all over again? Not only that, but the people/management at the new job will have the mentality that if I take time off I’m taking too much time off for someone who “just started”??? First off, I didn’t “just start” working. I’ve been working steadily since I was friggin 16 years old!!!
Your PTO should be controlled by a 3rd party and carry over from job to job imho. Perhaps the government could track it or something to that effect. I think it’s ridiculous that you have to “reset” each time you start a new job. It’s stupid and illogical. Yet another way to f over the working person. It doesn’t matter that i haven’t been working for YOU for years… but I HAVE been working for years… I need time off. end rant/
