So I'm a model worker in which I come to work all the time take hardly any vacations and am hardly ever on sick days but I got totally screwed by my job. I had 150 plus hours of vacation leave and found it to be at 80 on our update sheet which is updated twice a month. I come to find out without warning that we aren't aloud to have vacation time pushed over 2 weeks and man am I fuming. I've talked to my Union Rep but since it is in the contract it's likely a losing battle. That time is so precious to me and I feel so robbed. I'm very bummed out and am really mad at the company I work for.

So you lost 70hrs. of vacation time...not even a payout option?

I guess I'm gonna lose this one and really I need to use my vacation time and will definitely not let it happen again. This company is cheap and paying out is not an option. I thought being a model employee would take me places but I see it's just not worth it especially with this company.

Are those hours lost as of now? If not I'd be putting my time in and taking a quick vacation.

Yeah I asked the project manager for last year's vacation info of the staff and he said it wasn't available. I'm sure he was lying to me and it looks like my last hope of regaining anything is gone. I lose this one and I lose badly. I plan on taking a day or two off in February just to extend a weekend and I want to take a vacation possibly to Vegas for my Birthday in June but that is just a plan for now.

So do you have 70hrs. to burn between now and April 30th? Yes I plan on taking a week in early March and another probably in April. It's gonna be great to have this free time and I might even be able to draw some pics. I still have yet to unwrap my printer.
