EDS gives soldier the shaft.
by The Uni-Hacker on Jul.30, 2008, under IT
Today I was notified of a good friend of mine who is on his way to Iraq. Recently his company, EDS, gave him the shaft by not paying his vacation time. EDS released this person to another company and EDS waited until the last minute to force his resignation. Over two weeks of vacation time was lost, and now he’s on his way to Iraq in a few weeks. As soon as EDS received a copy of my friends’ orders they expedited his movement to the new company. My friend also informed me that emails were sent to EDS asking what was going to happen to his vacation. EDS kept saying “We’ll get back to you” when finally with two days to go they said “We will not pay for any unused vacation.”.
EDS should be ashamed at what they are doing, especially to soldiers going overseas. If the founder of EDS was still working there, this would have never happened.
