Fine with me.

TCU is at TT this year and it won't mess with my season tix.

Is there a financial penalty for the school that boycotts? Would have to think the revenue lost for a home game would be rough for TT to take.

re: Reimbursement for PTO (paid time off) when leaving an employer

And potential employees/applicants should look at that in disgust

Sure, if they want, but it should not be the companies responsibility to provide a parachute when the employee wants to leave and go somewhere else.

The biggest issue are the managers who don't force employees to enter their PTO and approve it so it decrements from their amount. Or, simply don't roll over PTO - cap it at however many weeks one gets depending on title and/or longevity.

We had a guy a few companies ago that had accrued 230 hours at a salary of roughly $200k - he would've been due about $22k if he had left...and that fricker was certainly taking vacations.

So, A - it was fraud but, B, nobody was having him enter PTO or his manager was not doing anything with the request so it was never decremented.

A lot will depend on the state you live in as the laws vary.

I've never heard of paying less than 100% if the company does, in fact, pay for accrued PTO.

Any smart company should lose traditional PTO and move to "Open PTO", especially if they live in a state that does require paying out PTO upon departure.

re: Saturated with 'update your information' postcards from LSU Alumni Office

Posted by RummelTiger on 6/1/26 at 2:00 pm to conservativewifeymom

Yeah, had the call with them...they asked some basic alumni questions, then tried to get me to buy a whole package of things that included the alumni book.

I was confused - thought it was just to update my info.

They were a "bit" aggressive in the tactic of trying to get me to buy a package of something...they offered quite a few other packages of things to buy.

lulz...certainly would not think Talarico was. His girl, on the other hand, her look is a dime-a-dozen in Austin. Could be from here, could be from CA, could be from just about anywhere else, but wearing the official "uniform" of Austin.

He looks like a huge dork...which he is.
