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!
