I’ll TLDR it because my problem may have been buried in the details.
Old policy, the sheer amount of hours I had to work meant I had 2 weeks of PTO, plus I had a pocket of time held aside for sick time just in case and I had the time banked for holidays. Anyone else could have gotten the hours, I got them because I helped in the lab which was billable hours, everyone else took off at a moments notice.
New Policy. I had a week of PTO plus holidays. Full stop. Suddenly working a job with those insane hours meant jack and didly.
And I realize it helped the old guard there, made things better for them. But when I was quitting there wasn’t a talking me into staying because it took the very last reason to stay at the company for me.
