PF Posters... New Year's Resolutions - What you got? (1 Viewer)

Happy New Year to everyone! 

I am going to try and do more reading this year. Get back in the swing of things, as it were. 

Peace!

Similar. I started last year well…got a Fire tablet meant to be my reader and a few other things last year.  After the first few months and a book and a half in it I sort of gave up in a way. Need to get back to it.

Couple good recommendations my brother is sending me that he thinks I will like.

Sounds good sho.  Happy New Year.

 
I'm going to try to stay away from watching cable news shows.  They're toxic.  What about you guys?


I gave up about 75-80% of cable news 3 years ago and never looked back.  If I watch now it is usually by accident and a non-politcal news story catches my eye but as we all know those are rare on cable news.  Just too much anger and hate spewed from CNN, FOX and MSNBC. I get it is for ratings but I don`t need it anymore and much happier without watching it every night.

 
I’m going to try to take more vacation. I got a promotion this past year and now qualify for four weeks vacation annually. In 2021, I used six days. Texas is a use it or lose it state, so I forfeited nearly 3 weeks of vacation at the end of the year. That’s just stupid and the result of my own failings and lack of discipline (delegation, trusting my staff, etc.). Going to do better in 2022. For my health and well being. 

 
What does this technically mean?  Does Texas has a state law that forbids employers to allow rolling over vacation time? That would seem odd.
No, it means that the law does not prohibit employers from having use it or lose it policies. In California, those types of policies are against the law.

You don't have the option of having vacation time paid out in cash?

Nope. Use it or lose it policies are quite common in states that allow them. The point is you should be taking your vacation. It’s better for the employee, which in turn is usually better for the company.

My company was bought out and I was basically shown the door with 4 weeks vacation in my pocket.

These laws don’t seem like they are looking out for the employee :lol:

Just go ahead and block two weeks now - and extend some holiday (7/4,Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, Labor Day, other)

Just do it now and you will have something to work towards (as far as vacation planning - even if you need to adjust your plans by a week or two)
