Recently Store Managers have been offering me jobs from different locations but same company in my town. The company is T-Mobile. It’s going to be my first job. I have a couple questions for any former/current employees. Is it better to work for T-Mobile, metro by T-Mobile, or a third party T-Mobile? Any difference in benefits or wage? Thanks

Depends on the state and other factors, but yes. My old company required that we take at least 5 consecutive business days off once a year. That policy actually stemmed from an anti-fruad initiative that many companies in the financial industry adopted after bearings went bankrupt.
We don’t force our people to take them but you stop accruing after you hit the cap if you don’t.
Some places you can also max out your earned hours/days and simply can’t accrue any more. So at that point you might as well take the time off.

They’re forcing us to take half of our vacation days by August 1st this year and have told us use them or lose them 😒. I didn’t think they could force us but I’m not willing to test it to find out.
Ya this is fairly reasonable. Can’t have everyone bank their vacation days for Q4. Then everyone is going to be off at the same time and work won’t get done.
Yes it’s called laying you off

Extended vacation..with no benefits or pay.

QQ. My mom accrued 8 weeks of vacation (seniority) and then out of nowhere HR switched to an unlimited PTO policy. Since she, and many other coworkers, are maxed out they can't accrue or cash out what they have. They must first use these 8 weeks before their unlimited kicks in. Others who had used up their PTO prior to unlimited kicking in, essentially get more vacation time. Is that fair? Is that allowed? I dunno, but mom and friends are pissed. Bad company culture in other aspects too is not helping.

The company culture didn't let her take a day of for my bday. Her manager never approved it. So applying for anything over a week in a row won't happen.
I guess mostly she wishes she had used part of to visit my elderly grandparents abroad, instead of saving for later. Then Rona happened and now she can't.
My company doesn’t force us, but our parent company doesn’t allow us to carry over or get paid out for any unused days (regardless of how many hours you’ve accrued), so management is very adamant about us using it, increasingly so as the year goes on
FF is forcing employees to take half the ATO they will accrue for the year, by end of September. In NY atleast, they are allowed to because the PTO is given at the company's discretion and not legally mandated. So they can take it away as well but are "being nice" by telling you to use it or lose it instead.
