OMG Sara it's a small world. That's a vendor that I'm firing later this year (we are not renewing a contract for software. And yes, they know.).

Well, good. Because they're fucking us out of vacation now.

I threatened to go sit in the Director's office until they buy out our contract. Or suggest we burn off all our vacation the month of August which will completely fuck 4 high level projects into oblivion.
I'm furious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good lord, sarameg, that is terrible. WTF?

It's actually quite common policy in corporate. It's just…. it's more on the shit sandwich being fed us. And people WILL lose earned accrued vacation. And when you contrast it to the main contract? It's really, really fucked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Definitely do that, though.

Common or not it is fucked up and wrong.

Yeah. The niche software we use to publish our transmissions to FDA was created by another (small) company who did a great job back in the day (mid-2000s). They got bought out by CSC years ago and nearly all of the stellar employees have left because they couldn't stand the parent corporation. So the software is buggy as always but the support now is nil. So we are switching to another vendor. I am not surprised they're screwing you over and I really hope there's some workaround or possibility of a buy out for you.
