25 Years Ago Today (And Then Some)
Feb. 5th, 2021 07:51 amOn February 5, 1996, the company then known as Menlo Logistics (later Menlo Worldwide, then Menlo Worldwide Logistics, now XPO Worldwide Logistics) made me a permanent employee. Today thus marks my 25th anniversary as what XPO considers my full employment with them, even though I actually started working for the company fourteen months earlier.

As it happens, today is also one of the every-other-Friday PTO use days, whereby I'm taking the day off because otherwise the accrued time in my account — even at the 15-year-accrual level — would vanish due to hitting the 37.5-day maximum accrual. But I guess I could also say that I'm taking the day off to celebrate an milestone date.
