Fyi too almost every day people seemed to call off at this place or say they had “appointments”. I was there almost a year and I definitely did not miss the most time out of anyone there. I explained this all to unemployment so I should catch them on their BS, but it’s just ridiculous still.

As the title says, we as a company got acquired by another company ( a big German company) and found out that our vacation days aren’t given out in the beginning like how it was before it was acquired. Now we get our vacation days divided by 12 and given to us at the end of the month. I’m assuming this is because we don’t use up all our vacation days in the beginning of the year. I’m new to the country, but this sounds absurd lol. Is this legal? P.S they cut our salary if we take more vacation days than allocated

For reference, I work for a small digital marketing agency that employees around 8 people in office, been here almost a year now. No hybrid or work from home allowed. There have been plenty of red flags while working here. I am getting married next month. I requested two hours off a week prior to the wedding to get my teeth whitened. I requested the week of my honeymoon off when I started. We get 12 PTO days a year, 18 after you've been with the company for 5 years. 12 days period, sick and vacation are all from this same bucket. I have never called out or taken a 'sick' day since I've been here. I have this meeting on my calendar today to discuss how after my honeymoon, I will only have 2 days left for the year. They understand how I'm going on my honeymoon, but any…

I work for a non profit medical center. I am the outreach coordinator. They hired me 3 weeks ago and I have spoken with my supervisor twice. No direction, mission is relatively clear, but they haven't given me any clear duties. Whenever I ask a question to the program manager, she basically says I'm doing everything right and that things will “pick up”. I wasn't told I couldn't work from home, so I have just been acquiring contacts from the house. This is a new position and I feel like they hired me, just so they could spend the money. Why does this feel so weird?
