The new proposed system handcuffs us and diminishes the amount of weekly vacations and overall sick bank for flexibility...
Such crap.
This is true, but it also has built in protections. Such as if you have a chronically ill child or spouse and can't get your PTO bank above 100 and sell back was never an option. (FMLA)Then even if you bid vacation, by the time sept and oct come around your bank is hovering in the teens. Vacation is eliminated. This protects planned time off with pay. Now you're not punished for using your PTO if you must.
Unfortunately not everyone has the options. This is gonna affect everyone different.
Personally, I'm with you, I'd like the big bank.
