Crap employer

My employer is trying to screw me over any way they can. What's really sad is that I'm not even surprised.

First the HR woman told me I would not be eligible for my sign-on bonus if I resign. I pointed out that I started on 9/28/16, meaning my six month point is 3/28/17. My last day is 3/30/17. Her response? "Oh. Okay."

Now I submitted a request for my PTO. Yesterday she told me it would not be paid if I resign. Direct quote from the employee handbook says, "Paid time off is paid out at termination in accordance with state law." I highlighted that statement and will present it to her when I go to work today.

Savings took a dip. Now at about $6300. However, that's mostly because I paid all the bills before this paycheck. So at least one paycheck of three this month will not have to go to bills at all. I have a total of three OT shifts to be paid for, two on the check this weekend. I think. It may be one this check and two next check. 

I ordered some special paint to refinish the bathtub and kitchen sink. It is expensive but it's an epoxy paint made just for that purpose. 

Going to try and get the house in condition to get the absolute best price I can. Since home values have increased a lot since I bought the house at the bottom of the market, I am hoping to walk away with at least $15-20k profit. Then I can use part of that as a down payment on another house in AL. Maybe use some to furnish and fix the place up if needed. It would be pretty cool if I could just buy a house outright at auction for that money. Looks like a lot of houses there go up for auction. I feel really bad for the people who lose their homes but it would be better if I bought one of them than some distant investor.
