What is behind that Smile?

Recently I went on vacation. People commented that I was more like myself after a few days.

When I returned to work the bitterness and frustration returned by lunchtime. The only path for me is out of here.

Incompetent and inept Accenture workers treated like the "stars of the show" when they are sh-t. Once something comes up complicated or they do not have For Dummies style steps to go through they are fked. And there are too many managers.

Why can't they fire some of them for a change? They won't have to do year end/bonus reviews or approve timesheets for the offshore workers. They have their own boss in their country who will lie for them, just like they did when they passed off unskilled workers as "experienced".

There used to be a saying "You get what you pay for". It needs to make a comeback. They are so high on the "savings" they will blast through this place with a chainsaw. Next level clown management. I noticed that in many cases only white men are kept after the cuts.

Really take stock of how you are when in office and when away for an appreciable amount of time. This place is toxic and should come with a warning label. At some point the money is just not worth it.

Are you allowed to take your vacation? My manager is not allowing me to
Does this mean he is planning something?

Any housekeeping tips I should keep in mind as I plan to put in my 2 weeks?

Tips to ensure a smooth vacation payout or pension payout? Or rolling over my 401k? Things of that nature. Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have a week planned vacation during my notice period. Do I have to cancel my trip? I cannot risk getting "fired" due to concerns of health insurance and family medical issues.

Most likely next week, that way no need to come to office and you will have 2 weeks paid, plus severance, plus unused vacation.

How can I get the paid vacation to North Carolina?

Can anyone confirm if carryover vacation is paid out when you quit?

anyone have experience working with an attorney to negotiate your severance package? trying to see if this is worth my while. also leadership is threatening not to allow me to use my vacation time during the last two weeks, even though the language in the severance paperwork is vague and says vacation/sick cannot "typically" be used during your last 2 wks..work with your PL if "unique" situation. Thanks all. I am so ready to be done with this mindf*ck of a place.

Are other Sam's Clubs denying vacations put in well in advance, being told that there is lack of coverage. And that there is a blackout from October until December? What good is PTO time if your managers control when you can use it. Seems a bit shady.

Just make an educated guess when asked. Who knows where anyone will be for the holidays, it feels like a long ways away.

What happens with banked vacation (e.g. 200 hrs) if I get rebadged?

Will that transfer?
Will that be lost?
Will that be payed out?

If you return to work for Pepsi after your severance ends, does the company count all your previous years of service towards vacation time ?
Anyone dealt with this situation ?

I had heard but it’s not been verified that for those of us leaving 9/4 that we should be careful and not use all our vacation time left because we haven’t actually earned time for Oct, Nov or Dec. Can someone co firm? I know we can’t take time last 2 weeks because that’s clearly written on the FAQ.

Question 1 - Is there the option to defer severance to the next calendar year? Question 2 - Is remaining vacation paid with normal paycheck or with the severance?

A significant chunk of the team is gone and seems like a common pattern is that they took a healthy amount of PTO in general. A colleague also barely took PTO but was recently forced by their manager to take leaves and maintain good balance and they did, and were laid off now. Almost all of them took a long time off summer.

Any similar pattern in your teams? Feeling worried and more hesitant to take PTO now after this. Was planning a visit to see family but thinking of cancelling it now.

Sell your stocks and take some rests for a nice vacation. Let LBT do your works

First thank you to this community for all the early info & giving me the confidence that I wasn’t alone in feeling this way.

9 year g-n who interned and hired on. The company has changed and I’ve finally had enough.

Couple questions for this board:

• what vacation is payed out? Should I take all my comp & carryover?
• is there a practical way to negotiate the annual compensation value of the pension with new company? Pension tool not helpful
• print out any important health documents
  Any other tips?

Also, for those wanting to leave… yes it’s not the post covid market, but there are companies looking for talented employees. If you are here you are talented and will be valued elsewhere.

Assuming we get notified 7/27 and that most people's end date is 9/4, that only gives 5 weeks for everyone to use up vacation and personal time. They don't want us taking PTO within 2 weeks of separation, so all vacation has to be used by 8/21. I don't know about everyone else, but I've got 16 days of vacation/sick time to burn, and I'm not the only one in my department who has admitted to applying for the VSP. If we all get accepted with the default exit date, my team will be running at 40% capacity. It will be a good preview of the sh-t show that they are about to walk into.

Hello from the otherside. Just wanted to reach out to y'all and see what kind of rumors and info we can swap.

Big thing for us this last week was our 3% automatic retirement contribution was canceled, and now all vacation time has to be used up by 12/31 every year or you lose it. No vacation time rollovers.

The rumor behind the vacation change, is that there will be big layoffs in Q1 2027, and this way they don't have to pay out the accumulated time.

Severance here (from a round in 2025) was 2 weeks per year of service, unclear on upper end caps and 1 month of benefits.

What are you hearing on your end?

RAP going away sounds like generic cost cutting to me. But losing all of your vacation at the end of the calendar year just means it’s far cheaper to lay people off in Q1 2027.

Are people taking time off this summer? Or will they take that against us for the next go-round?

I go on vacation tomorrow and my manager wanted to make sure I had my phone with me. "Why? More layoffs", I asked.

She confirmed yes. I told her if I'm hit, just call me in Japan and rip the band aid off.

Happy vacation to me!

If we suspect that we will be RIFd can we use up our future vacation? Would it be deducted from our final pay or have to pay back?

I may have used up all of mine for a nice long trip earlier this year. LMAO definitely don’t realize we’d be here looking at VSP and RIFd.

If you are in Minneapolis, make sure you use your vacation time before you quit. They apparently don’t pay out unused vacation anymore for several states that allow it? Just learned from my friend that got out and lost a week.

With the talk of upcoming layoffs happening on 7/16, how sure are we that retail will be affected? Like 60/40? 80/20? 100? I'll be on vacation for that day so I'm just curious if I'll be coming back to the news lol

why does dan and the board allow special advisor hans vestberg to post his vacation pictures golfing in sweden and attending the world cup?

Can any managers chime in on handing in resignation with prescheduled PTO? Do they just say you're done and don't bother coming back after your vacation?

What if its the summer equinox after the mid year election on a Tues and I’m on vacation leave. If they send out a notice on a Wednesday before that Tues. how am I affected? Do I get extra pay or am I penalized? I’ve read the handbook and I don’t see a section that covers this.

Does anyone know, if you take all your vacation for the year and then get laid off, do you have to pay back the part you haven't accrued yet?

How does such a scenario calc?! My laptop will ping to the network but I have 4 hours vaca time in workday. I’m guessing this is a double positive for “workable” days and days in office % but looking for confirmation.

If I take one day of vacation, does that count as an office day?

Just heard that Verizon is reducing vacation accrual caps to 125% from 150%? Is this legal in California?

Max cap being cut from 150% to 125% so they can take that off the balance sheet and not have to pay out that additional time when we're all RIFd.

By 'final paycheck', I mean the check that comes a few weeks after your termination date and includes reimbursement for accrued unused vacation time (or, in the case of over 65s, all unused vacation days til the end of the year). Were any medical or 401k deductions taken out of the vacation pay?

Just wondering: I remember an old coworker asking and I don't recall the answer. Do we get our 5 weeks vacation in the 2nd year of our 104 weeks termination pay? I cannot find the answer in our Leg T CWA contract. Also, I wonder if I can call in sick in the 103rd week of payout and then go on paid disability for 6 months. Would I need to file FMLA? Am I entitled to any more entitlements?

He-l, use up your vacation while you're at your new job!

I’m thinking about leaving Verizon voluntarily on my own terms. Does PTO get paid out? Not personal time or sick days just the PTO hours?
