My brother got shytted on.
For years I have worked part time ( and for a 3 year period I was full time ) for a sports media company. They provide scoring equipment and software and on site support for the NBA, NHL, PGA Tour, Tennis, and some other contracts like the Olympics, and Snowboarding etc.
I work Part time for the NHL Helpdesk. Got the call from my boss right before it was announced that the NHL was shutting down. No big deal for me. Its my secondary gig and its over at the end of April anyway once they get to the later rounds of the playoffs.
I got my brother a job there when he moved down here to Jax 5 years ago cause he has a degree in IT. He quickly rose up in the ranks and is one of their main on site guys for the PGA Tour. He goes to almost all of the main PGA events and helps coordinate the monitors and scoring system on site. Probably travels over 150 days a year. He was working The Players Championship right her in St Augustine when the call came down that they were shutting down the tour for right now.
Company told him until its back up the employees will have to use their PTO
Now granted my brother always has a huge bank of PTO cause they acrue theirs pretty quickly and for every weekend he works on the road they give him extra pto hours. But that is some bullshyt

And what happens when the PTO eventually runs out? He is going to try and get answers today.
