The Official Status Update Thread: Part 86 - TOP GUN

The way the company handbook is written, it doesn't say anything about a limit. It just says when you have 160 hours, you can start cashing in vacation a week at a time.

I have 320 hours banked. Called to cash in a week and started the whole chain of events.

That is only 8 weeks. they want you to burn half of your vacation

Well, The boss is the Boss, I will do something.

I don't take any time off because I don't ever have the extra cash to go anywhere. We took a week last fall and went to Seattle, wasn't planning on making another trip for at least a year.

stay home and visit family around the holidays. That is what I like to do. if your are like my wife you have to travel to visit family. only her parents live in the state the rest are spread out.

does tractor supply sell ammo?

 

[SEIndSAM]

I'm still scratching my head about getting in trouble for doing something that the Employee Handbook says I can do???

 

[churchmouse]

Well crap. I just got semi-yelled at from the company HR guy!!!

Seems I have banked too much vacation time. I am being forced to take 4 weeks vacation between now and July 1.

Did you Semi-yell back......

does tractor supply sell ammo?

Not here locally. Rural King does.

That's funny. All of the wifes family have followed her to Batesville. And her kids are in Seattle, that's an expensive trip, so we will not be going there soon.

No, I just explained my understanding of the Handbook and HR guy admitted it could be read that way. Bet the next one has the vacation policy spelled out a little better.

 

[Westside]

all my family lives within an hour. it's the wife's family that doesn't. Her grandmother for our Christmas present paid for our plain tickets to come spend a week with her.

Cooler heads prevail.

 

[SEIndSAM]

We will probably just drive to Montana next spring and go hiking for a week. Need to start banking my hotel nights.

 

[Westside]
