I think the last straw fell; elimination of separate sick leave without an increase in PTO.

As in you had 10 sick days and 10 vacation days and now have 20 PTO? Or like you had 10/10 and now have 10? Because the latter is totally a quittable offense. (Something way less egregious, for which they after protest gave us a 1% raise for, is what caused the mass exodus at my last job)

The latter. And the sick leave was still accruable( I had a ridic amount), whereas PTO is not.

And this in an environment where the majority of the staff have 5 weeks leave+ 5 weeks sick, no cap on the latter and something like 6 months on the former.

If I am expected to work with that differential, they can expect to work with a raging, seething ball of resentment. Which will end well for no one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sucks, sarameg. Bah.

And flea. I understand why it's happened, but it's a drag.

I'm not going to hide any of it. And I really hope division boss is in tomorrow. And my boss is on site. Because we need to start talking options. And I need to talk to one of the lead jwst testers and see what he has open so I can leverage, if it comes to that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's not like this at all!

It should be! I'm going to pretend it is. Actually, I'm a good bit better right now, but yesterday about this time of night was when it was last exacerbated, so I'm not holding my breath.

That's ridiculous, sarameg. (eta: what's happening, not your plan. Your plan is sound.)

Yeah, flea, you're part of the stat! The deal with women's careers taking a back seat to their husbands' even when the woman is equally educated and capable. It sucks.

information libertarian

Because he's an engineer, he makes 2 to 3 times what I make, so it's not like we've had much of a choice.

Still, it's not right or fair.

Flea, I'm sorry.

I guess I fired my first salvos on fb, as my branch boss and both of my CSRA supers ( whatever the fuck it is now) can see it. As well as several coworker under this sub contract and not. I.don't.care. I want them to.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I feel like I'll never have a good job again, and I'm getting past my prime.
