So I’m fairly new at my job compared to other workers. It’s a non profit. Started the end of 2020, with proper Covid restrictions and procedures.
For the most my job is good. Decent pay and benefits. Chance at promotion. Weeks of paid time off. And they try to be friendly environment. Don’t fuck around and you should be fine.
So before Covid the job would follow the school schedule from September to June.
Meaning if the schools were off for a snow day or holiday so were we (and paid). So we a fair amount of holidays off.
2021 was a bit crazy with all the school lockdowns but still followed the schedule as they could I.e. got the Friday after thanksgiving off. But for 2022 the higher ups posted our yearly schedule. Long story short we only get the 5 big holidays off this year (Christmas, Memorial Day , July 4th etc.
When asked by us for the unwanted change their response was “for Covid reasons”. That’s it .
I know this isn’t as bad as other people’s stories but I wonder. Are we being taken advantage of somehow?
No one in my department likes this new schedule.
