<prompt> Human: Background: I work for a Fortune 500 company with healthy financial margins. The company has a subsidiary that is outsourcing about 10 positions at my level at a specific division within the company. The pay, insurance, and incentive plan are the same but the paid time off PTO accrual is decreased by 40 hours per year which is one of the few perks I get for being a manager. Part of me feels like I should be thankful that the pay and schedule is the same while another part of me knows that this is an intentional money saving activity for the company. My question is what my options are? Do the 10 of us engage in collective bargaining? Do we find out if they can offer a severance? Can I request a carve out for additional PTO every year? Do I need to get a lawyer?As always, thanks so much for taking the time!  <response>: this is a blessing. take the job and get another one. reducing your PTO is ridiculous.
