The manual was emailed to everyone in the company yesterday at 5pm. Yes, you heard me right; emailed. They didn’t even use a pdf, just a good ole word document. That’s not why I’m here though, let’s talk content.

Nothing you wouldn’t expect from another company. There’s the normal leaglese mixed in that basically boils down to, “If we change this, that’s too bad for you.” Overall though it’s not bad at all. I’m actually going to get an additional vacation day each year (that’s 12 vacation days if anyone’s wondering), and an additional sick day. Overall that’s not too bad. I don’t really like the “To take vacation, employees should request sixty (60) days advance approval from their supervisors.” clause, but that’s been there and not enforced.

Overall, I don’t see anything too bad yet. I need to sit with a printed copy and read through it more carefully though.
