Dodged a bullet on that one:
- PTO is a touchy subject?
- They are looking at more than one candidate, why would any candidate limit themselves to one potential employer?
- hudibras 10y agoYeah, that's just weird. Paid time off is part of the total compensation package; it would be strange if a candidate didn't ask about it.
- cwilkes 10y agoAnd if they are touchy about it probably also means that they won't pay it out if you leave ... that's the law in California but not in other states like Washington. I was shocked to hear that, apparently it is somewhat common in retail jobs not to get paid out. Happened to me at a company that claimed to be more of a technology company. Maybe they don't think word gets around. Or that smarter employees will just take a lot of time off before quitting, which does a lot more harm to the company than if they just paid out the time owed to the employee.
