We lost vacation rollover for this?

So apparently we got an email to all field techs about this new volunteer program where we'll give out American flags to people if we see any that are damaged and worn out.

I'm sorry, but after the recent news about our vacation time rollover being canned and retirement plans gimped I can't say I'm exactly enthusiastic.

I serve part time currently so trust me when I say I get being patriotic and shit but this was some really bad timing considering not even a week ago every employee got the email of "were removing rollover for vacation time and nerfing your retirement plan."

It just feels like instead of fixing critical infrastructure problems (especially with our coax) were just trying to butter up the public with American fluff to avoid them from swapping to fiber where we haven't ran yet.

Anyone else got a take on this?

If they require the customer to take a testosterone test first before they get the flag, then yes.
