Older coworker here (Xennial). I’ve always used all of my sick days. One job had a week you could carry over to the next year. I held that week if I didn’t need it because next year I’d be making more money. Next job started with sick bank but stripped it away and lumped everything into one PTO bucket that they weren’t legally bound to offer carryover from. Oddly enough, they started having trouble with attendance in November and December as people just took days off whenever. Oh well.
Older Millennial here and because I hang out at websites that Zoomers do, I’ve also started doing this. Y’all have had a major influence on the way I see life, the universe, and everything. I try to keep my sick, PTO, and UPT hours as close to 0 as I can. I call off several times a month and I’ve come into work late every single day for almost a year straight now.
If you’re going to give me the time, I’m going to use it. Only thing I save up is vacation hours for a yearly trip to wherever.
That part is questionable, but if you’re just working 10a - 6p, it’s fine. If you’re making another person cover for you until 9:02, it’s absolutely not fine.
A long time ago at a startup, we had a generous vacation time that had no carry over limit. Most of us didn’t take the full PTO allotment. The morons that the VC people wanted to change the policy to have carry over limits.
I’d send an email about this time every year to ask if they were going to limit carry over. Because I need to know when in October I have stop working for the year. Most of the founders had similar PTO accrued.
After about 3 years, they finally did it. I had to take 3 separate 4 week vacations in order to finish the year at my max carry over.

In your boat and managed university students. Even millennials are dinosaurs and we all just need to get out of the way.

8-5 with unpaid lunch is normal here. 830-45 is “late” even if you work til 530-45. Just my experience
That’s a management issue lol
Look at this wagie discovering solidarity all of a sudden.

My father did similar his last year. He basically worked two days a week and took three days vacation for an entire year or so.
