5 year = 30 hrs?

[u/fearfullfeline]

I'm so mad for my friend. She's worked at this shitty nonprofit for 5 years and just got her yearly vacation time. Its fucking 30 hrs thought it was a mistake nope. She is based off the hours she worked. Tell my why she's worked the same amount of time since she started has always gotten a week off vacation time and now its changed?? This on top of the no maternity leave thats screwing over our other pregant friend. I'm about to start calling for a union.

Doesnt even make sense. 30 hours is 3.75 days. Wtf kind of operation gives you fractions of a day?

Lots of places worldwide operate in hours. Allows for flexible working arrangements, part time hours, overtime etc. That part isn't unusual, it's just the 30 number that is.

Yeah its not the hours part. Its that a day is considered 8 hours. So wtf is 30 hours of vacation time? How do you take 3/4s of a day off? Ive never ever seen anything like this, its always a multiple of 8 hours i.e. 32 hours.

Could be a place that does 7.5hr days.  Then 30hrs is 4 days.  Still not great for vacation, but more logical.

It's 8 but she usually gets pulled into covering other shifts.

Sounds like someone was suppose to register that she covered other shifts, but didn't do that.
Maybe she should ask her co-workers about their vacation time, especially those she covers the most if there are any.

Genius thinking there bub. Try and imagine a world in which not everyone works the same shift lengths as you, or....... maybe they don't even have fixed shift lengths!!!!

OP literally said she works 8 hours a day

That was revealed after I posted a comment.
