Well, perhaps. jh Send a noteboard - 13/01/2014 05:00:46 PM

View original post - everyone must be in the office by 9:00am (used to be much more flexible)

That's not really anything to be upset about... it kinda sucks, but whatever, perfectly within the rights of the employer


View original post - cannot take more than 10 consecutive business days for vacation (I've taken 12 before, and it was just fine; group runs smoothly and we cover for each other well)

Why would they want to impose a strict limit there? I don't understand it, shouldn't it at least be negotiable? Of course legal minimum for consecutive days during summer here is three weeks, so I have never experienced anything like this...


View original postA bunch of additional little (petty) things were also codified and written up as policy:


View original post - leaving earlier than 2pm will count as a 1/2 vacation day

Well, if you only work half a day?


View original post - at least a week's notice is required if to take more than 1 vacation/personal day

Not unreasonable at all. Depending on the type of work, of course, if someone needs to cover for you, those conditions are fairly soft...

Yes, they are reasonable. Palatine - 12/01/2014 04:42:57 PM 1510 Views
This stuff made me miss working in a company with an HR department Aeryn - 12/01/2014 06:44:22 PM 1013 Views
I personally find HR departments a waste (but that's another issue). Palatine - 13/01/2014 04:41:29 PM 1348 Views
They would be reasonable if you were an idiot in a nanny state type job. Tom - 12/01/2014 07:28:41 PM 1103 Views

I think a lot depends on what's going on with personnel issues. Cannoli - 13/01/2014 04:26:04 AM 1197 Views
You hit the nail on the head Aeryn - 13/01/2014 05:39:46 PM 1097 Views
Honestly, they sound pretty reasonable. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/01/2014 04:30:58 AM 428 Views
You're not overreacting. Sareitha Sedai - 13/01/2014 03:00:02 PM 1022 Views
flexibility should be a two way street random thoughts - 13/01/2014 04:22:24 PM 928 Views
Yep, pretty restrictive. That just shows once again that money isn't everything ironclad - 13/01/2014 04:27:39 PM 1044 Views
I wish they asked... Aeryn - 13/01/2014 07:54:58 PM 984 Views
Aren't you kind of in the wrong line of work for that? *NM* Legolas - 13/01/2014 08:07:40 PM 422 Views
Well, perhaps. jh - 13/01/2014 05:00:46 PM 956 Views
A lot does indeed depend on the reason for the changes. Legolas - 13/01/2014 08:28:23 PM 1055 Views
Please correct me if I am incorrect, but don't you work in finance or a related field? Stephen - 14/01/2014 11:45:15 PM 1005 Views
