My previous employer seems to want to withhold my vacation owed to me

Svo?

Lmao?

What the bald guy said

Is he really bald or just partially bald?

Prime example of why you burn all of that shit up before you put in your 2 weeks.

If the corporate office is based out of a state that requires the employer to pay for PTO, then you can get it. Even if working in Texas for a satellite office.

However, that's all moot now.
Good job on seeing an opportunity and building some solid support under that bridge.

Corporate office is based in Italy! That means if you make too much noise..... well...... they already didn't want me to leave the family - and see, now they've pulled me back in!

Nice.

Not sure what business this guy is in, or how much he gets paid, but PTO can be a big paycheck in my business.. I know where I work we are allowed to hold up to 800 hours pto, and with making $100+ an hour that is a BIG pay check...

You must be sooooo rich! I bet you just have a line of dudes wanting to blow you.

Yeah I never seen that much, I hover around 200ish. Most engineers and people and my field are hermits and never do anything, have any friends to speak of, etc.

Yeah that's still pretty wicked. Currently only get 120 a year of PTO (prior life was 160) and use or lose. Prior life was 80 hours carry over - typically just for the purpose of not using too much at once...etc..etc.

I did have a gig where you could cash out PTO yearly, that was neat.

I'd love to be able to cash out, I'm sitting on over 300 hours, but won't see a dime until I move on. Will make for a nice little bonus when I do though.

It's awesome hearing your story of redemption Chris, and you've handled your previous employer in as respectful and gracious manner as possible.

Well I only had a few days of PTO coming to me. it really wasn't worth arguing the point with them. And the end result is I left on excellent terms, and now they are more than happy to pay me a very good day rate to go out and take care of jobs for them on a contract basis. & I still have my oil rig job. I just don't have to go to my next hitch until April the 16th. so really I got no complaints!

Does your current employer know about these contract deals?

[93LXHORSE]

Does your current employer know about these contract deals?

No. But I asked one of my coworkers and he told me they could care less. I read my handbook and so long as it's not a competitor there's no non compete issues.

And.... Don't rain on my picnic![emoji3]
