This company is incredibly stingy, they will make new "company rules" out of thin air. They made a policy that anytime you are forced to quarantine it is 14 days unpaid. Annoying policy considering the company prides itself so heavily on being a "Great Place to Work", but in efforts to save money I understand why they do it. Then they double down and make you use any Vacation time[PTO] that you have until it is depleted. I reached out to HR to see if I had an option not to use all the PTO I carried over from last year and was promised that this policy benefits me in the long run...
Instead of doing operational shutdowns the WWT is now doing operational "pauses". This means that if someone tests positive that they will make you sit in a
breakroom for an hour while a 3rd party cleaning company sprays chemicals all over your workspace. The first time this happened more than half of the people
in my department had headaches, some people had to go home because it was so bad it was making them throw up.
Worldwide technology is also stingy when it comes to hiring people on. To the extent that people in my building have been contractors through Areotek for upwards of 18 months. That is 18 months that you aren't getting PTO, Paid holidays, Health insurance for your kids, etc.
