FW: YOUR PTO WAS NOT APPROVED

Post by debudodley » Sat Aug 08, 2015 8:38 pm

SUBJECT: FW: YOUR PTO WAS NOT APPROVED
SENT: August 28, 2015, 4:22PM
FROM: 'HR Normcore'
TO: [email protected]

Hello Dusty Drug Hippie,

After carefully reviewing our needs for Q3, we unfortunately have to decline your request for Paid Time Off from August 30-September 7. We realize you've been preparing for your desert dance festival for the last 51 weeks, and we would like to substitute your vacation with a one-time direct deposit of an appropriate amount as a make-good. Please respond promptly with your desired dollar amount, as our Human Resources division is leaving on a team-building exercise in Dallas for six weeks.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

HR Normcore

P.S. The Company is open to an alternate form of recompense, should cold hard cash be insufficient.

I don't know...
How about triple what I spend on a burn and a guarantee of two weeks paid during the burn every year after?

Some day HR will be acknowledged for its single handed destruction of American business.

I have already submitted my request for 3 weeks of PTO for the 2016 burn. It has already been approved.

going to the event is enough pay. Last 5 - 10 years ago were unpaid time off, negotiated at time of hire: I would always be gone at that time.

WELL, Stubhub (sounds like you'll get castrated if you go there) DO go up to $1.1 million, so, if they want to give you THAT much
