So I started a new job in September, I told them about the plans I had already made to travel. This new job only offers 10 days PTO whereas my old job offered 24. At this new job they have comp time and sick pay, so they told me I could gain comp time and use it to be able to go on my vacations. Anyways, I worked lots of events and got around 5 days of comp time! One of the policies is that we can use our comp time before anything, before sick time, before vacation time, anything. So when I was submitting my time sheets, I made sure to do that. However, I got pulled over and basically talked to in an aggressive tone saying I wasn’t allowed to do that and that I need to use my vacation time first. After that, I went to look…

Unbelievable wealth hoarding!!!!

when i was originally hired, i really liked my store owner. paid me fairly, gave me good hours, gave me the days off i needed for college, gives us an extra $30 on each paycheck to help pay our phone bills, we have similar interests in music and audio engineering and we would talk after hours all the time. i’ve been there for 3 years and i’ve gotten 2 raises that, combined, gave me $2 on top of what i was originally making. he announced that the store was not performing as well as last year and that our hours would be cut as a result. i was thinking maybe 3-5 hours cut between all of us. my hours were cut from 35 a week to 30 to 27 all the way down to 20. only me and 2 of my other coworkers hours have been cut, meanwhile the other…

Been with my job for 7 months, have not taken any PTO. Only time I have taken off for anything is for surgery &follow ups when I broke my leg. I told them back in April I will be traveling international for almost 2 weeks (9 work days). They said it was fine but now I am just finding out we have all these meetings those weeks with the CEO and others, and my job is supposed to set up everything, (I’m a front desk receptionist ) of course with others help. I do feel guilty but in all fairness I did let them know about this for a while. Is there a chance of me being fired once retuning?
