Old system you get roughly 5 weeks of time off, either Vaca, sick or PTO drop.

New system you get 2 weeks Vaca and 3 more weeks for sick, PTO drop.

Still 5 weeks, just less flexibility in the new system.

What's the benefit?
I get an extra week of vacation because I used so much pto to get 19 or 20 off a month that I was only awarded 1 week anyway. Now I get 2 weeks automatic with better distribution, (in theory) and with better rsv rules, (in theory). Ill still get 17 or 18 off with the 2 weeks of vaca. And with the vaca worth 35, I only need 35 to make a line. (In theory). This makes 2 months a year with at least 2.5 weeks off and my usual drop@pto/uto the other 10 months.
I know its not what many want, Im just saying that Im okay with it.
My main concern is the scope language, work rules and retirement, which seem to have improvements (in theory).
