Michelle was right. (CW: Work bitching, Destroy Capitalism, The River Tribe is not my friend)
I am an overtime eligible member of the River Tribe. I'm tasked to complete 40 hours of work every week.
I earn 3 classes of paid time off, sick, personal, and vacation.
Personal accumulates at a certain rate, depending on how long i remain a member of the tribe.
Personal accumulation is capped to 48 hours (6 days) per year. Once I have earned 48 hours, i don't earn any more.
If I don't use any of those 48 hours, they roll over into next year, where they are applied to the 48 possible hours I can earn that year.
My former coworker was correct. I will not be satisfied with my job until I own and run my own business.
