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.

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.

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.

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

yep.

see also relationships.

Fuckit, I'm baking cookies. I need to do more beside seething and applying bourbon.

Rage baking: probably added too much bourbon. At least theses cookies are forgiving.
