I’m in Arizona. I don’t work for a private company, I work for the government. They seem to be able to make their own rules. When I complained about not being able to leave for lunch because shredder guy couldn’t be trusted to take messages or just let them go to voice mail, I was told that they didn’t even have to let me have a lunch break and was reminded that this is a “right to work” state.
How the PTO thing was explained is that we have been given time to get our PTO down acceptable levels and that this will save them at least 180,000 a year.
That announcement came out on Friday. Today, we couldn’t use our computers because we were under cyberattack. This was big. The entire county was pretty much shut down. Nobody could do anything. Courts were shut down, nobody could pay fines, nobody could pay taxes, nobody could get building permits.
Coincidence?
I stopped at the library on the way home tonight. I ran out of things to do today, and spent the afternoon bored out of my mind. Tomorrow, I’ve got a couple of good books to read.
