Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Many of us OGs are sitting on hundreds of hours of PTO because of engineering deadlines and previous cuts.

Now you want to bleed us further with more cuts? That is our reward for literally working evenings and weekends for months?

@mc I thought the system auto-approves requested PTO, as long as you have the hours available in the bank (up to 40 hours, in the negative).

I learned in my first year to never keep more than 40 hours of PTO. Use it!

I requested summer PTO over a month ago and it’s still pending. Is this happening to others?

Having hundreds of hours of PTO is not the flex you think it is

@OP Your PTO is yours to take. If you don't take it that's on you.

I live in a state where they can't take it away so its like a little piggy bank for when I leave or they lay me off.

I dont get it. When will people understand this place will bleed you dry and leave you on the road to die? Don't give up anything of yourself for a company that DOES NOT CARE. Do not sacrifice yourself and family for this place that will absolutely replace you in less than a minute.

You had better take your PTO! Depending on your home state, they do not need to cash you out if laid off. California law says you need to get that money, Nevada, for example, no pay out and our company will not pay you out.

It doesn't help, but I learned over the decades that you never, ever give a company anything more than you are willing to get taken away from you at any point in time. Your PTO is an example of that. All of that time you invested without pay beyond a promised benefit for later is simply an investment you may likely lose or see a minimal return on. That's simply the job market we're in. I've rarely seen corporate Good Intentions pay out.

Don't even think there's such a thing as justice and fairness - there isn't. There's only a transactional exchange between you and Mr. and Mrs. Corporation. Invest wisely and cashout when it's to your advantage.

I truly hope you get your investment back.
