We have a written policy that says the manager can approve up to 40 hours of PTO in the negative by just approving the time sheet. Now the manager is being told not to do that by the dept head. So what's the use of the written policy?

could be worse; have your job changed from non-exempt to exempt and have over 700 hours of unpaid overtime in the 8 months since it happened..

My local office says this:

Plenty of uncertainty exists in
regards to any available moisture, frontal positions, coastal
low development, and cold air.

Literally. Brick, there is you a job. I hear they are hiring at the NWS lately.

I was actually changed from salary to hourly, but that was worse for me. We never get overtime anyway, and now I don't get paid for holidays. I have to use PTO to get paid for a day if we're closed. It makes more sense with what I do to be salary because we have deadlines we have to meet. It matters more how much we actually get done a day versus if you work 8 hours a day or not.

NWS in Wilmington, OH issued a SWS saying 1-3" possible tomorrow and another 1-2" on Sunday. I may get to use my new snow shovel after all.

Sounds like you work for the state of NC, not that I'd know anything about that

So it looks like while there may be no record breaking cold, the persistence of the cold may be the big story.

Please quit posting four letter words ... cold, snow, and the like are, well, impious ...

EDIT: I fixed your time settings. You were set to London England.

I think you can set your time settings in your profile.

[GeorgiaGirl]

The naming winter storms thing that TWC does is so ridiculous...

Are there any named winter storms that stand out to you ?

Nope, just the ridiculousness of what TWC does with names, I remember dates but not names.
