Of course the one time that I didn't ask about the PTO policy before accepting a job… Turns out they have a policy in which an entire month and every single weekend is a blackout period. Two of the days I'll be working is on the weekend.
I'm used to blackout periods being flexible with manager approval, but what's extra crazy is that they say it would cost you two days of PTO to take off a single day during a blackout period. What? How is that legal?
I really really need the job, so I can't change my mind, but it seems like I'll be looking for a new job during my days off.
Any thoughts on this policy? Thank you.
