Too many to quote using the phone,.. thanks.
so- now it is a bit bitter sweet as I may very well lose all of my accrued PTO,..94 hours.
Will have to see
Dunno about your state, but every state I have dealt with, accrued means it is earned and is 100% required to be paid out.
For those in Ohio, the employer must have a written policy stating under what conditions accrued PTO will not be paid.
And there’s the ‘rub’ of course.
While I live and work in Kentucky, the company that pays me is in Ohio…. And yes- it’s in the Employee handbook. So it’s very very likely that I’ll get screwed out of it.
Even though I am only partly to blame here.
- Because I get it done, it’s given to me
- because I close the most tickets, it’s given to me
- because it had to be done and there isn’t anyone else here to do it, it’s given to me
- because Jake hole didn’t finish it, I have to.
- because “I trust you to get it done”,…
- because he’s a lazy f*
… - because this is how’s it’s been.

When I left public school teaching (Georgia), I didn't receive any payment for 500+ sick leave hours

Not sure if it's time to update the resume or what..

They didn't roll that into your retirement package? That's good to know. I'm currently employed by the USG, lol.

If there's any doubt, it's probably time. Especially if those doing the gaslighting are on your own team or are in the immediate chain of command above you.

Sick time is rarely rolled in, unlike vacation time that usually is.

That's called "leverage". Every response should be "and why are you paying them to do that rather than the person who is actually doing it?" and "why do you keep paying people you don't trust?" and "I have a hard time believing your faith in me as you say that when I get more work, but say the opposite in my paycheck. Your actions say you don't actually have faith in me."

Just told a customer that it is all gone.
In reference to their mission critical B2C system.
They were running it on a refurb Lenovo desktop that they bought from MicroCenter 2 years ago.

I've been told I am work from home tomorrow (our office is right next to the Buffalo airport); expecting "feet" of snow but we know this is over-hyped. Kids school's areay canceled for tomorrow.

Yeah, dad said two feet expected there tonight. Thruway has been closed for hours.
Heading to the beach for cocktails on the sand here in a few minutes.

If you are suspecting it, then you probably are.
If they are the sort of people that don't like putting it writing, gaslighting isn't too far of a stretch. -

It is partly the "old staff" mentality.. The one who I have the most issue with has been there almost five years - and is a full employee - I'm 'just a contractor'.
So, as the most senior (in time only) he gets to skate by on things. Partly because of the previous IT staff and Director. The Director didn't do anything as he did everything asked of him - and nothing more. He's an 'IT Specialist" but classifies himself as a "Security Specialist" for the organization. We are all IT Specialists.. oh well...
It's a lame dynamic... he can do good work, but that's when you can get him to work. With the Directory having been a 'filter' on some things... he could likely find himself in a sour spot before long - and that'll be it. But I am not staying.
Got my start date pushed off,.. so maybe I don't have to lose all my time. But that edges into the time we go to Virginia to visit family. And it'll be my granddaughters first Christmas... so I don't want to skip that...
