I just saw several posts on the threads about a typical employee’s PTO policy that say the executive class has unlimited PTO now. If true, that’s so tone deaf it’s incredible. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Also, if you’re reading this... — read more

Another round in April - and again (another round) first week of May. These will be outside of IT and may impact all areas in small chunks. In June there may be another but they haven’t confirmed.
