LAKEWOOD — Three teens from Brick are charged with throwing eggs at houses and
people from a car in Lakewood early Friday.

Lakewood police Capt. Gregory Staffordsmith said at least seven incidents were
reported after midnight. A Nissan Altima being used by the trio was found with
help from the Lakewood Civilian Safety Watch near Lanes Mill Road and Joe Parker
Road.

Zack Hadley, 18, Jace Pichirallo, 18 and a 17-year-old teen male were in the car
along with eggs, according to Staffordsmith. The 18-year-olds were charged with
simple assault while the 17-year-old was released to his parents custody.
Further charges may be coming.

No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

charges. He was expected to face a seven-year prison term when sentenced on
Sept. 8.

(Paul Iantosca via Twitter)

NOPE! 5 REASONS UNLIMITED PTO SIMPLY ISN'T WORTH IT

It's been a growing trend among companies, but is the benefit really worth it?

Gallery Credit: Mike Brant


It may sound like a novel idea

Canva


IT MAY SOUND LIKE A NOVEL IDEA


Having unlimited PTO

Canva


HAVING UNLIMITED PTO


To use whenever you want

Canva


TO USE WHENEVER YOU WANT

Much like the endless galaxies in space. There'd be no limit to how many days
you can take off.


But is it really worth the hype?

Canva


BUT IS IT REALLY WORTH THE HYPE?


And is it something we really deserve from our employers?

Canva


AND IS IT SOMETHING WE REALLY DESERVE FROM OUR EMPLOYERS?


Both good questions when it comes to unlimited PTO

Canva


BOTH GOOD QUESTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO UNLIMITED PTO

Is it something we really deserve? That might sound like an insult, but there
are some good reasons why we're better off not having it.


Before we look at the 5 reasons, let's first define what exactly unlimited PTO
is

Canva


BEFORE WE LOOK AT THE 5 REASONS, LET'S FIRST DEFINE WHAT EXACTLY UNLIMITED PTO
IS


Unlimited PTO is exactly what it sounds like

Canva


UNLIMITED PTO IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE


It's an infinite number of paid days off you can take, whenever you need it

Canva


IT'S AN INFINITE NUMBER OF PAID DAYS OFF YOU CAN TAKE, WHENEVER YOU NEED IT

There's no cap, no accrual, no minimum. Just take the days as you see fit.


It's a much more streamlined process

Canva


IT'S A MUCH MORE STREAMLINED PROCESS


That's less complex to manage

Canva


THAT'S LESS COMPLEX TO MANAGE


And it's that simplicity that actually makes it less benefitial to you, the
employee

Canva


AND IT'S THAT SIMPLICITY THAT ACTUALLY MAKES IT LESS BENEFITIAL TO YOU, THE
EMPLOYEE

Unlimited PTO is actually a disguise. Here are the reasons why it's like a trap
for making the employee feel like they deserve it.


#1 - There's no pressure

Canva


#1 - THERE'S NO PRESSURE


No pressure having to worry about the number of days you have to map out and
plan throughout the year

Canva


NO PRESSURE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOU HAVE TO MAP OUT AND
PLAN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR


So you might not be thinking about those vacations the same way you might if you
did have limited days

Canva


SO YOU MIGHT NOT BE THINKING ABOUT THOSE VACATIONS THE SAME WAY YOU MIGHT IF YOU
DID HAVE LIMITED DAYS



Which in turn may cause you to miss out on days you might otherwise have earned

Canva


WHICH IN TURN MAY CAUSE YOU TO MISS OUT ON DAYS YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE EARNED


There would be no use-it or lose-it

Canva


THERE WOULD BE NO USE-IT OR LOSE-IT


And if that happens, the company banks those days you otherwise would've had to
take

Canva


AND IF THAT HAPPENS, THE COMPANY BANKS THOSE DAYS YOU OTHERWISE WOULD'VE HAD TO
TAKE

Not being forced to take time off might sound nice, but having that mental break
is important. It's something you may not realize at the time, but even a day off
for no specific reason is better than nothing. Without the use-or-lose, you're
more likely to lose.


#2 - You're afraid to look bad

Canva


#2 - YOU'RE AFRAID TO LOOK BAD


Maybe there's a handful of days you want to take

Canva


MAYBE THERE'S A HANDFUL OF DAYS YOU WANT TO TAKE


But you're worried it'll upset your boss

Canva


BUT YOU'RE WORRIED IT'LL UPSET YOUR BOSS



Who in turn might find it shameful that you're taking so many days throughout
the year

Canva


WHO IN TURN MIGHT FIND IT SHAMEFUL THAT YOU'RE TAKING SO MANY DAYS THROUGHOUT
THE YEAR


So instead of doing that, you stay on the clock and skip taking the time

Canva


SO INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, YOU STAY ON THE CLOCK AND SKIP TAKING THE TIME


Because it simply isn't worth it to look like you're taking advantage of the
system

Canva


BECAUSE IT SIMPLY ISN'T WORTH IT TO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
SYSTEM

It's been shown that employees tend to take less time off when they're not
forced to, which is precisely why we don't deserve such a system. Most of us
already have to be forced to use our days before the year ends without an
unlimited system. If we did have unlimited, we'd simply pass on using those days
at the risk of looking bad in the eyes of our employer.


#3 - Accrual and seniority mean nothing

Canva


#3 - ACCRUAL AND SENIORITY MEAN NOTHING


Doesn't matter if you're on day 1 or day 101

Canva


DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE ON DAY 1 OR DAY 101


You all get the same time as one another

Canva


YOU ALL GET THE SAME TIME AS ONE ANOTHER



Same number of vacation days to disappear and do whatever

Canva


SAME NUMBER OF VACATION DAYS TO DISAPPEAR AND DO WHATEVER


Is the policy simple? Yes. But is it fair?

Canva


IS THE POLICY SIMPLE? YES. BUT IS IT FAIR?


No accrual for years of hard work

Canva


NO ACCRUAL FOR YEARS OF HARD WORK

Accrual matters. It's an indication of one's dedication over the years. It's a
big incentive for a job well done that's now out the window.


#4 - You lose more when you quit, retire, or get fired

Canva


#4 - YOU LOSE MORE WHEN YOU QUIT, RETIRE, OR GET FIRED


OK, perhaps if you're fired for something major you deserve to lose it all

Canva


OK, PERHAPS IF YOU'RE FIRED FOR SOMETHING MAJOR YOU DESERVE TO LOSE IT ALL


But if you're let go for something beyond your control, you shouldn't be
penalized

Canva


BUT IF YOU'RE LET GO FOR SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, YOU SHOULDN'T BE
PENALIZED



Nor should you if you accrued time when you quit or retire

Canva


NOR SHOULD YOU IF YOU ACCRUED TIME WHEN YOU QUIT OR RETIRE


Unfortunatley, with unlimited PTO this wouldn't matter

Canva


UNFORTUNATLEY, WITH UNLIMITED PTO THIS WOULDN'T MATTER


Since unlimited PTO isn't accrued, there's nothing to payout

Canva


SINCE UNLIMITED PTO ISN'T ACCRUED, THERE'S NOTHING TO PAYOUT

PTO accrual is important, especially if you leave the company down the road. If
you have time earned, you're entitled to that payout. But since unlimited PTO is
not earned, there would never be a payout for that time you otherwise would've
earned. It's also a way that use-or-lose is good since it forces you to use
what's entitled to you.


#5 - The company squeezes more work out of you

Canva


#5 - THE COMPANY SQUEEZES MORE WORK OUT OF YOU


Not all companies, but some who offer unlimted PTO know this will happen

Canva


NOT ALL COMPANIES, BUT SOME WHO OFFER UNLIMTED PTO KNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN


The fact that you keep your guard down

Canva


THE FACT THAT YOU KEEP YOUR GUARD DOWN



And will bypass vacation days

Canva


AND WILL BYPASS VACATION DAYS


To avoid making it seem like you're taking advantage is a win for your boss

Canva


TO AVOID MAKING IT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE IS A WIN FOR YOUR BOSS


Even if it's not the intention of your particular employer

Canva


EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE INTENTION OF YOUR PARTICULAR EMPLOYER



It's still cheaper for the company overall

Canva


IT'S STILL CHEAPER FOR THE COMPANY OVERALL


No banked or earned days

Canva


NO BANKED OR EARNED DAYS


Makes the bottom line better for them

Canva


MAKES THE BOTTOM LINE BETTER FOR THEM

Even if an employer has the best intentions of offering unlimited PTO, the
employee may still lose out for all of the reasons mentioned above. We want to
look good and don't want to be the only one who is viewed as abusing a good
thing when nobody else takes as much time.


So no pressure, being afraid to look bad, having meaningless accrual or
seniority, no payout when leaving the company, and company's squeezing more work
out of their employees are five reasons why we don't deserve the benefit of
unlimited PTO

Canva


SO NO PRESSURE, BEING AFRAID TO LOOK BAD, HAVING MEANINGLESS ACCRUAL OR
SENIORITY, NO PAYOUT WHEN LEAVING THE COMPANY, AND COMPANY'S SQUEEZING MORE WORK
OUT OF THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE FIVE REASONS WHY WE DON'T DESERVE THE BENEFIT OF
UNLIMITED PTO


That's the bottom line... but it doesn't have to be

Canva


THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE... BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE


We also deserve to have meaningful compromise

Canva


WE ALSO DESERVE TO HAVE MEANINGFUL COMPROMISE



For example, keep the accrual going with days, but as a reference point to
encorage employees to take that particular time

Canva


FOR EXAMPLE, KEEP THE ACCRUAL GOING WITH DAYS, BUT AS A REFERENCE POINT TO
ENCORAGE EMPLOYEES TO TAKE THAT PARTICULAR TIME


As seniority and pay goes up, so should those reccomendations

Canva


AS SENIORITY AND PAY GOES UP, SO SHOULD THOSE RECCOMENDATIONS


So if in one calendar year you're reccomended to take 3 weeks off, you take it

Canva


SO IF IN ONE CALENDAR YEAR YOU'RE RECCOMENDED TO TAKE 3 WEEKS OFF, YOU TAKE IT



And the employer should also pay attention and encourage the employee to take
those days

Canva


AND THE EMPLOYER SHOULD ALSO PAY ATTENTION AND ENCOURAGE THE EMPLOYEE TO TAKE
THOSE DAYS


And also allow exceptions for emergencies

Canva


AND ALSO ALLOW EXCEPTIONS FOR EMERGENCIES


As long as an employer is fair about it and pushes you to take your PTO, then
they're doing their part so you don't lose out

Canva


AS LONG AS AN EMPLOYER IS FAIR ABOUT IT AND PUSHES YOU TO TAKE YOUR PTO, THEN
THEY'RE DOING THEIR PART SO YOU DON'T LOSE OUT



But if it's a work environment where you're worried about looking bad and taking
proper PTO isn't encouraged, then you will be the one who misses out

Canva


BUT IF IT'S A WORK ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT LOOKING BAD AND TAKING
PROPER PTO ISN'T ENCOURAGED, THEN YOU WILL BE THE ONE WHO MISSES OUT


Which in turn, will prove why you don't deserve to have unlimited PTO

Canva


WHICH IN TURN, WILL PROVE WHY YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE UNLIMITED PTO


You deserve much better than just a policy

Canva


YOU DESERVE MUCH BETTER THAN JUST A POLICY



You should be encouraged to take the proper time you would otherwise earn each
year

Canva


YOU SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THE PROPER TIME YOU WOULD OTHERWISE EARN EACH
YEAR


Without that, then it's simply not worth it

Canva


WITHOUT THAT, THEN IT'S SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT


But if you do stress about it, you simply won't take the time you deserve

Canva


BUT IF YOU DO STRESS ABOUT IT, YOU SIMPLY WON'T TAKE THE TIME YOU DESERVE

We unfortunately make it not worth it. Unless an employer recognizes this, we'll
keep ending up the ones who will lose in the long run.


And that is why we don't deserve unlimited PTO

Canva


AND THAT IS WHY WE DON'T DESERVE UNLIMITED PTO

And also why some companies across the country are embracing it.

We do know what to expect in the first few months of 2024

WE DO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF 2024

We'll first look at what the Farmers' Almanac thinks will happen on New Year's
Day in New Jersey and throughout the region, followed by their winter outlook in
New Jersey for 2023-2024.


As 2024 gets closer, the Farmers' Almanac is able to release more detailed
predictions

Canva


AS 2024 GETS CLOSER, THE FARMERS' ALMANAC IS ABLE TO RELEASE MORE DETAILED
PREDICTIONS


Which includes the forecast specifically for New Year's Day 2024

WHICH INCLUDES THE FORECAST SPECIFICALLY FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY 2024


Now before we look at what the Farmers' Almanac says, it's important to note
that there's no way to specifically know what the weather will be so far out

Canva


NOW BEFORE WE LOOK AT WHAT THE FARMERS' ALMANAC SAYS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT THERE'S NO WAY TO SPECIFICALLY KNOW WHAT THE WEATHER WILL BE SO FAR OUT

Remember, the Farmer's Almanac is more of a long-term trend as opposed to a
specific and targeted forecast.


With that said, here's what to expect when the ball drops in Times Square
through January 1, 2024

Canva


WITH THAT SAID, HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN THE BALL DROPS IN TIMES SQUARE
THROUGH JANUARY 1, 2024


To the north of New Jersey, the potential for snow is high for New England

Canva


TO THE NORTH OF NEW JERSEY, THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW IS HIGH FOR NEW ENGLAND


With the same forecasted across the Great Lakes region

Canva


WITH THE SAME FORECASTED ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION

The northeastern and Great Lakes regions should expect to see some snowfall
across their regions sometime during the first day of 2024.


South of New Jersey, showers are expected to stretch along the southeastern
portion of the country

Canva


SOUTH OF NEW JERSEY, SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO STRETCH ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN
PORTION OF THE COUNTRY


With Sunny, dry conditions expected in the deep south

Canva


WITH SUNNY, DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE DEEP SOUTH


These predictions all take into account of the upcoming El Nino, which is
expected to influence the weather patterns throughout the country

Canva


THESE PREDICTIONS ALL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OF THE UPCOMING EL NINO, WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER PATTERNS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

El Nino usually has a big influence on weather across the globe, including here
in New Jersey.


So with snow to our north and showers to our south, what does that mean for us
in New Jersey?

Canva


SO WITH SNOW TO OUR NORTH AND SHOWERS TO OUR SOUTH, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR US
IN NEW JERSEY?


In our area, we can generally expect to kick off the New Year with a sloppy mix
of rain and/or snow

Canva


IN OUR AREA, WE CAN GENERALLY EXPECT TO KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH A SLOPPY MIX
OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW


In fact, the entire mid-Atlantic region is expected to see rain and/or snow

Canva


IN FACT, THE ENTIRE MID-ATLANTIC REGION IS EXPECTED TO SEE RAIN AND/OR SNOW

In general, the mid-Atlantic states should expect to see some sort of winter
precipitation fall at some point throughout January 1, 2024.


As for regional specifics in New Jersey, that's still an unknown

Canva


AS FOR REGIONAL SPECIFICS IN NEW JERSEY, THAT'S STILL AN UNKNOWN


Although the likelihood of sloppy weather is there, where the rain/snow lines
set up is not yet set in stone

Canva


ALTHOUGH THE LIKELIHOOD OF SLOPPY WEATHER IS THERE, WHERE THE RAIN/SNOW LINES
SET UP IS NOT YET SET IN STONE


This means there's a chance that part of the state might see snow while other
portions might see some ice or rain

Canva


THIS MEANS THERE'S A CHANCE THAT PART OF THE STATE MIGHT SEE SNOW WHILE OTHER
PORTIONS MIGHT SEE SOME ICE OR RAIN

Rain, snow, or wintery mix is the primary call for New Jersey, but we don't know
which region of the state will see what. Could there be snow to the south? Might
the raindrops fall to the north? Whatever it does, it'll more or less be sloppy.


With that said, take this prediction with a grain of salt

Canva


WITH THAT SAID, TAKE THIS PREDICTION WITH A GRAIN OF SALT


Although the Farmers' Almanac is fun to follow, their predictions aren't always
a slam dunk

Canva


ALTHOUGH THE FARMERS' ALMANAC IS FUN TO FOLLOW, THEIR PREDICTIONS AREN'T ALWAYS
A SLAM DUNK


In all actuality, we could end up with bright sunshine across the state come New
Year's Day

Canva


IN ALL ACTUALITY, WE COULD END UP WITH BRIGHT SUNSHINE ACROSS THE STATE COME NEW
YEAR'S DAY



The truth is, we won't really know for sure until we get close to the day

Canva


THE TRUTH IS, WE WON'T REALLY KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL WE GET CLOSE TO THE DAY


Rain and snow could happen, but maybe not specifically on New Year's Day

Canva


RAIN AND SNOW COULD HAPPEN, BUT MAYBE NOT SPECIFICALLY ON NEW YEAR'S DAY


Regardless, it's still a forecast, and some snow on or around January 1, 2024,
would actually be pretty neat

Canva


REGARDLESS, IT'S STILL A FORECAST, AND SOME SNOW ON OR AROUND JANUARY 1, 2024,
WOULD ACTUALLY BE PRETTY NEAT

Whether it's December 31, January 1, or January 2, some snow across The Garden
State would be a nice way to ring in the New Year.


As for the rest of the winter outlook in our area?

Canva


AS FOR THE REST OF THE WINTER OUTLOOK IN OUR AREA?


The Farmers Almanac predicts above-average snow for our region, especially for
the northern portion New Jersey throughout the 2023-2024 winter season

Canva


THE FARMERS ALMANAC PREDICTS ABOVE-AVERAGE SNOW FOR OUR REGION, ESPECIALLY FOR
THE NORTHERN PORTION NEW JERSEY THROUGHOUT THE 2023-2024 WINTER SEASON

predictions too seriously

YES, THE FARMERS' ALMANAC IS FUN TO FOLLOW, BUT TRY NOT TO TAKE THEIR
PREDICTIONS TOO SERIOUSLY

to fruition. As for the snow and rain expected on New Year's Day 2024? Click/tap
