@ 10 Benefits Your Employer Will Cut Next Year: What the heck kind of employer do they have when the first two benefits are Layoffs and Hiring Freezes?
My employer cut vacations for us. Where we used get up to four weeks after being with the company long enough, we now are maxed out at two weeks. Quite a few veteran employees miffed about that one.
They were even classy about telling us about it…sneaking us an email memo the day before Thanksgiving.
@mdoublej: That’s cold. Real cold.
I’m debating asking for a 3 percent increase instead of a 2 percent one I got last year. I think they can afford it, but will they is another matter entirely.
Next year I get a nice bump in paid time off. I really hope they don’t mess with that.
I’ll be getting a nice bump in vacation time after 1/1/09. ALL THE FREE TIME I WANT, MY ASS IS OUT ON THE STREET!
