You asked, we listened! Our vteam family let us know they wanted to reduce vacation accrual max from 150% to 125%. This gives our superstars more time to set the foundation to play to win. It also helps reduce severance for future rifs which delights our shareholders. I am humbled, honored and energized for all we have accomplished as we continue to build the future at scale - together!

Just a quick question, I've been with NG for 7 months now. I've been in the corporate world for 20+ years and I didn't quite understand how backwards their PTO policy is. I was given 40 hours upon my onboarding in October. At the beginning of the year, I was not given any additional hours. I accrue PTO at 3.04 hours every two weeks. This policy doesn't seem competitive with any company I've ever been associated with. Even retail places like Walmart or Di-k's has a better policy.

Hearing rumors and rumbles that they may be changing our PTO rate? Reducing it? Saw some reddit posts and some rumors on the Optum board. Anyone else hearing this?!? I mean they already cut 401ks match.

If you survived, I recommend using your PTO now if you haven’t already. Policies vary by state, but unused PTO will most likely not be paid out.

I was rif'd in February and I noticed my paycheck was a lot hiring. Looks like they paid out PTO. Anyone else get that paid out? I didn't think they were going to pay PTO because of the new policy that came out last year. Could it be a state rule? I'm in NY.

New to company and given where the world sits in a crazy climate, is it safe to say what holiday you are taking off for? Passover, rosh hashana? Is there antisemitism?

I have a plan to submit my two week notice around 3/17.
Can anyone tell me that if my "unused PTO" will get paid out?

Thieves. Don't get back what I paid for bought PTO and they're continuing to charge me despite my job elimination. I Busted my ru-p in this dead-end place forever and this is just icing on the cake.

Has there been anything else that wasn’t disclosed prior to us going over to mastec like losing part of our vacation, sick, and holiday time?

How long di you have to work at Dell to get the extra PTO/Vacation hours?

I understand we get our severance payout in paper check mailed by end of Jan and STI by end of Feb. When do we receive our PTO balance payout?

Anyone have clarity on what half day pto convert to in terms of hours? Its listed as in office day but does it count as full 8 hours worked?

When you give 2 week notice and they let you go immediately, do they pay you those 2 weeks>?

What about unused PTO?

Reddit said PRTO is being capped at 80 hours next year

How does WF get away with these practices of reducing PTO hours for usage of sick time?

In NYC, the following law applies: “NYC's sick leave law, the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (ESSTA), requires employers to provide paid time off for various reasons, including personal or family illness, medical appointments, and absences due to public health emergencies or domestic violence. The amount of paid leave depends on employer size, with employers with 100+ employees providing up to 56 hours annually.”

However, WF’s own policy states: “If you’re a pto eligible employee, you don’t receive paid sick time in addition to your paid time off allowance. Instead your pto can be used for reasons covered under the sick time law to provide pay and job protection. Using sick time in workday decreases your pto balance by reducing those requested hours from your monthly pto accrual.”

Isn’t this illegal?

I was wondering if anyone who joined Oracle before 2018 and were on the accrued vacation hours system before the switch to Flex PTO, is aware that Oracle deducts accrued vacation hours each year during the company-wide Winter Break.

What this means is over time, any vacation hours saved up before 2018 would eventually go down to zero — and employees leaving the company now wouldn’t receive a payout for those previously accrued hours.

For those who joined after 2018, their Winter Breaks are fully covered without any deduction (because there's nothing to deduct). I’m curious if others have noticed the same.

Also, it's state specific

Does four hours PTO still count as an in office day?

I hate the sound of it. In theory it is unlimited PTO. In reality you could be passive aggressive marginalized for taking PTO. I’d rather have my fixed number of days I can take with impunity.

They are taking personal days away as of Jan 1. We will only have accrued PTO and I doubt they will add to our PTO to make up for some of that loss.

I’ve been ringing the bell on this for over a year—both here and in person. The writing’s been on the wall, layoffs were always coming this year. The PTO change was the clear warning sign.

I got out earlier this year and stopped even checking this site. Honestly, I’m amazed so many are acting surprised. Pull your head out of the sand.

And don’t think it’s over. Next comes a “mini reorg” here, another one over there, then suddenly—“oops, redundancies!” More cuts.

Bottom line: leadership has a headcount number they need to hit. Their bonuses are tied to it. Things will break, just like the culture that’s been shifting downhill for the last decade. Same as the country—leadership has their plan, and the rest of us just get dragged through the tank while they hit their targets.

Best advice: build a path that’s about you, not about serving an employer.

4 hr pto will be still considered as in office day ?

I've heard that there will be a PTO change coming since we acquired Cigna. There are too many state differences which means that some states will get more PTO than others because of the differences. Also heard they may let only those affected know. Seems shady if that's the case.

If you willingly leave HCSC and have unused PTO, will they pay that PTO out with your final check?

Things I’ve heard and seen posted on their sites. I’ve definitely heard about the remote workers being laid off if they don’t relocate, and the multiple support center layoffs. I’ve also heard about 2-3 days back to the office, not 5, but I guess we’ll see.

• Removal of FTO
• If you aren’t at Walgreens when bonuses (if we even get them) are paid out in November, you won’t get one.
• Switching to Business Casual, no jeans or sneakers.
• 10/20: Remote Employee town hall informing them to relocate or they will lose their job.
• 10/21: 10% support center workforce reduction
• January: 30% support center workforce reduction
• January: 2-3 days in office but also heard it may go to 5 days in office

Hearing in early September some drastic benefits changes will be announced. Including reduced 401K match & changes in PTO allowances. Big bummer as the 401K match is truly the only executional benefit we receive.

Can anyone confirm if they were paid out their PTO upon being fired/quitting. I am having an issue with that as well as being paid my commission. Ideally looking for feedback from someone not in California.
