Tell me how this is legal, my company wants to change our vacation policy to a "PTO" policy. They say we won't see a reduction in our time off and this is just a change in name only. But we all know this is a scam to ensure the company doesn't have to pay out for unused time off, right?

I'm confused so this just means they're collapsing vacation and sick/personal time or something? Isn't PTO and vacation basically the same thing? I've never worked for a company that didnt' call it PTO so I guess I'm just confused why youre so nervous about PTO?

Our PTO is protected and akin to compensation
However it’s also combined sick and vacation, and is not a lot of days until you reach 10 years of service.

I prefer PTO. My hospital has a generous PTO policy where you earn 7 days off every two weeks.

My raise % has historically been good. Company entered into a big lucrative deal in 2021 which brought on more work and with it, promises of more lucrative prospects for everyone.

Come performance review time, I’m getting a rave review but was informed that the increase isn’t as big as prior years because HR is limiting the raises and not giving the department as much discretion as it did in the past with nos.

Tried to ask for more but not getting to the sweet spot.

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
