#2There’s just one paragraph missing.
If PTO isn’t paid out on termination, then PTO cannot be safely accrued.
The undersigned should state that this behavior leaves them with no choice but to draw down their PTO balance, perhaps starting a specific day next week.
But I wonder if the employees that weren’t in a state which requires paying out PTO balances had expected to be paid their PTO balance? Usually this is one of those things that’s addressed in the employment contract.

#3This seems like an excellent thing to ask for the next time they're negotiating a contract.
But it seems a bit late to complain about the terms of a contract after said contract has ended.

#5Guess fake news isn't too profitable. Even HuffPo, Vice and others of that genre seem to be having financial issues.

It is, in California. Most states don't have that requirement though.

It’s worth noting many CA BuzzFeed employees (including myself) signed the petition.

#9If they wanted to get paid PTO after being fired, they should have signed a contract that paid them PTO upon termination.
Sleazy company employs stupid people. I don't really care who wins this one.
