Minpunten
Been with MITRE over 20 years. In 2011 they cut our vacation accrual by 2 days and the retirement match from 33% to 25% and made a few other benefit reductions. This was "sold" to staff as a necessary cut to keep our fringe costs from making MITRE unaffordable to our sponsors. First, the fringe cost isn't the only factor in the equation, but it's the one they keep going after. Fast forward to 2023 and this time they only targeted staff with 9+ years of experience and are reducing vacation time by 4 days a year. This is demotivating to all staff because now there's zero incentive to stay with MITRE. Even low paying blue-collar jobs tend to have increasing benefits as one gains seniority and experience. This is just the most recent in a series of upper management blunders. I really miss the MITRE I joined where employees were appreciated and the silly goal of "good growth" wasn't pushing us into situations like this.
