December Class Dates
 
Woke up to good news this morning with a choice of two class dates in December. If you have started training in December is there any typical schedule around the holidays? Trying to make the best decision for the family. Thanks! Looking so forward to joining.

December class.
 
Take the 1st available. There will be many Christmases and New Years in the future. Seniority is the name of the game. One number can make all the difference.
I'm sure the family will understand.

Training center is closed on Xmas, so it doesn’t matter. Both classes will have a couple days off around the holiday. Take the first available.

I was in class last December. Most folks were fortunate and had a handful of days off around Christmas, and a few around New Years...some were taking their Orals the afternoon of the 23rd, however, making it a challenge to get anywhere. If you're close enough and can bring a car, that'll be a big help. Rather than fight full holiday flights, I drove 7 hrs home.

Closed for one day.

For someone with a difficult commute, good luck getting home and back...

Get in class this year so you qualify for 2023 profit sharing!

That’s a thing of the past. Don’t have to work a full year anymore to get PS.

Well that’s a good thing. How did I miss that one?

Vacation accrual is still a thing.

Get on property ASAP.
