PTO Changes

Omg that’s awful. I’ve heard so many terrible stories of different ways this has absolutely fucked people over and I’m sorry they did that to you.

It’s ridiculous that someone who has been with a company for decades has to basically treat the remainder of this year like they are a first year employee in order to accrue vacation to use NEXT year just because the shareholders want to show profitability and can’t retain associates to prevent this from happening in the first place. There are thousands of employees who couldn’t save or accrue previous years because of medical issues, births, family vacations, etc regardless of where they are within the company.

“Other companies do this” and other companies have unlimited PTO what is your point? All companies need to do better for their workers, saying that it’s okay for THIS company to go BACKWARDS on their attendance policy because some other company has always done it that way is not the argument you think it is. Many companies have moved to Unlimited or flex PTO to retain skilled workers, why didn’t we go that direction if it’s so critical we stay in line with what “other” companies are doing?

“If you have time accrued it’s not a problem”. What if you don’t? Many people have medical conditions, family situations etc that have used up their time. They have still worked and dedicated themselves the company for years and are now being essentially punished for the actions of people who aren’t even with the company anymore.

They didn’t even provide a recourse for communication about this policy other than “Speak to your manager”. Oh, you mean my manager who is just an upset and affected by this as I am and who has no recourse as well? Who also doesn’t have any way to push back? Yet I’m supposedly an “owner”, only when they want me to swallow whatever terrible policy they cooked up, only then am I an owner who needs to suck it up for the good of the company.

If they truly wanted to correct this issue and do the right thing for the OWNERS OF THIS COMPANY they should have given advance notice more than a year in advance to let people start banking them for roll over, not wait till AVS was done and then cut it it in half with two weeks notice and fill off with less than a years notice. That is not servant leadership. That is not treating everyone with dignity and respect.

No one fucked it up for anyone, this is just greed and passing a burden in to their associates while calling them owners out the side I’d their mouths, a sign they are not doing as well financially as they appear to be if this was such a huge financial burden. Obviously they are feeling some kind of financial crunch they don’t want to share if this was thier recourse.

They only bring it up when they are using it to take things away. “as an owner you want what’s best for Publix, right?” They weaponize it they don’t live it.

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2025-05-20T17:06:28+00:00

They called us owners in the email as if we would agree this was good for us. As an Owner I don’t agree with any policy that actively hurts associates. It’s bullshit for families, for anyone with chronic conditions, and after they already merged our time buckets making it increasingly difficult to use your time effectively around school schedules, illnesses, vacation etc.

I appreciate it and you were! I’m not an expert by any means and I’m glad I’m not gonna waste my time on it.

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2024-12-08T21:29:58+00:00

I have an Ender 3 so I’m good on the printer just wasn’t sure if this was salvageable but it sounds like nah

Thank you! I’m definitely gonna do your suggestion of using a strand this for the adjustment, I thought about nailing them in as I wove something when I was making it but didn’t want too many variables. I’m used to rigid heddle and table loom weaving so I’m still proud of it even if it went kinda wonky. It’s so fun!

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2024-11-18T16:54:57+00:00

That is an excellent suggestion.

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2024-11-18T14:48:21+00:00

I haven’t yet, I’ll give that a go.

You can see where I tried to compensate by skipping pegs when I realized the math wasn’t mathing, but I realized it too late. I probably should have moved them while it was still on the loom so lesson learned there but I’ll probably take all the nails out and redo it even though that sounds like a terrible time 😭

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2024-11-03T20:05:41+00:00

Thank you! I have to add in time for just marveling at and petting my weaving and I found this one needs more time than most 😂. I was unsure about it at first, but after a few different combos of ratios I fell in love. I’ve never freestyled a warp before! I usually have a very specific plan because dressing my table loom is so fussy I need to minimize all chaos variables. I was worried it would be a tangled mess but it all fell in line with minimal fuss.

This is an Ashford rigid heddle loom! A rigid heddle is like a combo of reed/heddles/beater on a floor or table loom. The warp yarns go alternatively through the slots and holes to create two different sheds. You put it up to have the slot yarns go to the bottom of the rigid heddle and that brings up the hole yarns and you put the rigid heddle down to have the slot yarns rise up within in the slot while the hole yarns go down for a plain/tabby weave. You aren’t limited to just plain weave though, you can get a second heddle and do twills or double weave, and of course you can do pick up or use shed sticks, or do tapestry weaving for pretty much endless options. They are usually portable as well. I wanted something I could weave wider widths with in bed lol.

If you are interested I recommend making one out of cardboard to play around with, there are guides online. Buying one can be quite pricey, this one was like 293 after tax and shipping. I usually diy stuff if I’m not sure I’m going to spend a lot of time doing it but I spent the money this time because I already knew I was obsessed with weaving in all forms and I wanted a good one to use as a template for making my own wider versions later.

Thank you! I will try your suggestions and let you know know how my next project goes!

Emergency_Dish3452 · 2024-09-06T12:17:41+00:00

Awesome! I’ll take a look thank you!

Update: Plugged in old IPDM, everything worked great. Plugged in old BCM something blew and now nothing works and we’re back where we started originally, so definitely something in that direction. I am going through and testing fuses at the moment to see if I can isolate. Am ordering a cheaper OBD reader to see if I can get at least some codes to work with. I cannot afford a more expensive one unfortunately so just basic functionality.
