Just is just a rant to get it off my chest, honestly. I’ve worked at my place since March. I was labeled as not benefits eligible until recently because my hours could technically fluctuate. I just recently got a promised full time schedule, so I was moved to benefits eligible.
They’ve decided to treat me as if I am a brand new employee. So I have to wait another 30 days before getting health benefits (sure, fine). 90 days before I can access vacation time (this is a little more annoying, I’m clearly not probationary, but whatever). No holiday pay until December (this really grinds my gears, there’s no work to do on bank holidays so I just am forced to go without pay?). The real annoying thing is they’ve freezed my sick time for 90 days. That’s the one benefit I’ve always had. And now, I can’t use the hours I’ve already accumulated for 90 days.
I’m just so sick of it. I was so excited to finally get benefits and be paid for thanksgiving. I have a hole in my tooth I need fixed. So having to wait 90 days is just such a punch in the gut. They’re like “but you’ll keep your seniority date!” Okay then why am I forced to undergo ANOTHER probation? I’ve had 3 different perfect 90 day reviews! Clearly I’m a trusted employee!
