I took a new job last year that was a slight pay cut from my last job in exchange for “unlimited PTO”. Now several months into the job, we’re all told it’s now limited PTO…and it’s less PTO than I had at my last job. So now I have a job where I make less money and get less time off. There was no question or lead-up; they just announced it in an all hands meeting as a matter of fact. If you’re Director or above, you still get unlimited PTO, but that’s not me.
To be fair, some people were abusing the hell out of the unlimited PTO, but I wasn’t.
What, if anything, can I reasonably do? I want to ask for a pay raise since they changed the terms of my compensation (I’ve always been told that PTO is a part of my compensation) without my agreement, but somehow I doubt I’ll get it since they’d likely need to do the same for everyone.
FWIW, I like everything else about the company…but this feels dirty.
