OT, but wanted to vent:

My company announced recently that, as of March 1, they are changing the way we accumulate paid vacation days. Without going to deep into the math, the central takeaway is that every employee at the company will now be getting 6 fewer days of vacation time each year.

Lovely.

And to add insult to injury, the official notice about the changes indicates that “despite these changes, our policy remains competitive with those of others in our industry.”

Oh, ok so just because other companies are yanking benefits from workers you figure “what the heck, let’s do that too!”. As if being noted for treating your employees BETTER than other companies would be such a terrible thing.
