Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto::undefined
No vacation days in the first 12 months. Then 2 weeks of vacation per year, three weeks after 5 years of consecutive employment.
Damn, I’m happy to live and work in Europe right now, assuming that these are comparable numbers across the North American job landscape.
“Linus Media Group believes that vacation is a necessary opportunity for people to relax, refresh and recharge.” LMAO
The rules on sick leave look quite awful as well.
Some people have pointed out, that this seems to be a normal vacation policy within Canada. Still a shitty policy, but I wouldn’t put the majority blame on LMG for this specific issue.
Some of this is very boilerplate handbook wording but I gotta say some of these benefits are very average at best, especially the time off situation. This is from the perspective of a US government worker, where I regularly see my friends get hired in the private sector and receive much better time off.
And at least in southern New England, there’s some straight up illegal rules in here, notably discussion of wages. Around here you cannot be ordered by anyone not to disclose what you make.
The time off situation is literally just the bare minimum legal amount in Canada.
