RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Posted January 26, 2019 Since Rummy's breaking out the Orion should we all contribute something...sorta like the annual PASR bash (burgers, sausage etc. to go along with the ribs)? Rummy let me know what you need. Also where will the festivities be held? Does elk frown upon parking lot grilling etc.? Quote

I’m in the same boat at my job, and it sucks. What ends up happening is people take “the day off” then decide they don’t need/want that day and give back their time so certain days go from over capacity to open and you don’t know that until about 9am the day of. The only plus side to it is I’ve racked up close to 200 hours of PTO in my 3 years with the company from the sole fact that I can never get the time off that I want/need. Quote

I gave back 4 days this year, but to be fair I wasn’t really “working” the last 4 months of the year. Supposed to be an automated app coming soon where we can submit for time off and and know right away if it’s approved, and have an automated waitlist if not. 1 Quote

Luckily ours rolls over, and we don’t have a “set” amount of vacation per year rather we accrue it per pay period. For example, every pay period I accrue 5.5 hours of pto. It’s a good system, but doesn’t work if you can’t use it. What ends up happening is that people request off for a whole bunch of days and then don’t take them so if you go on and look for a day you need off, it’ll say it’s full and you’ll get denied if you submit for pto that day, then someone (or multiple people) will come in that day and “give back” their time off and it’ll open up which doesn’t help out others who needed off but had to come in due to that day being “full”. Looks good on paper, doesn’t work. 1 Quote
rummy Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 Here's my plan. Hopefully I'll meet everyone at approximately the same time upon their arrival at the lower parking lot. I'll then escort them to a Semi-Secret Location (SSL) adjacent to the upper parking lot. At the SSL we'll claim a couple of picnic tables and you'll be able to relieve your aching bladders etc. from the long drive to Deep South Vermont (DSV). From the SSL you'll be able to gear up in warm comfort and begin your adventure on the slopes of DSV. The SSL is a ski-in/ski-out location. Depending on the size of our group, I will provide 4-6 racks of smoked baby back ribs, 1-2 quarts of baked beans (ammo for the ride home), 1-2 quarts of macaroni salad, paper plates, utensils etc. If you don't think that will be enough meat products, you're welcome to bring additional and there is an open fire pit where it can be grilled at the SSL. Please provide your own liquid libations and any other items of merriment you wish. Since it seems you are talking about morning tickets, I will plan on lunch at 1:00 p.m. When you are ready to go home, if any would like to take a brief tour of TLCITW I'll be happy to be your guide. Enjoy! Enjoy! the Great Outdoors of DSV..... 4 2 1 Quote
