So i was furloughed in 2020 along with everyone at my company. After 2 months they brought some of us back but we had to sign a new employee handbook acknowledging several policy changes. Among them: no more 401k match, we now accrued PTO and had a new attendance point policy. We no longer have a bank of sick time but that old bank was added to total PTO bank which we now have to accrue. Regardless of reason, calling out sick/personal for a shift results in attendance points. 3 missed shifts and a single 1 minute tardy in a 6 month period is enough points to be terminated. The worst is, they laid off every person who was blacklisted for “liking” a social media post criticizing the Chairman of the board/primary shareholder. The old policy guaranteed employees a layoff payout of 1 week per year of service. Many of these people had dedicated decades to the company. A day before the layoff they changed this policy to a maximum 4 weeks pay. All while avoiding any bad press because of “how much money was lost and their horrible struggle because of the pandemic.” Meanwhile share prices were and have been higher than they were prior to the pandemic. They also immediately posted new positions to replace the laid off positions.
Edit: Fine I won't be a coward. It's SeaWorld corp. They treat the whales better than the people.
