100%. I’ve already used about 60/70 hours this year and my boss has been getting on me about not using it enough.

I think they are really trying to eliminate burnout. I can see it being used nefariously, but I think they just actually want us to be happy, as opposed to the theme park that I came from, which has a more “hire an 18 year old when this person burns out” mentality

It’s interesting, and I’m coming from hospitality, so it scares me sometimes.

Basically, as long as my time off is granted, I get paid for it. I don’t have any set limit of 2 weeks per year or anything. Taking days off is encouraged. My boss told me recently that I wasn’t taking enough time off, so I took this week off. It’s really taking me some time to trust the system, but it’s absolutely wonderful

Can confirm. I went from one of my dream company in a field that interests me to a field that I’ve never thought about working in.

Dream company (roughly 30k employees in my area) treated me like garbage. The new, smaller company (around 1000 employees across the US) pays me more, gives me unlimited PTO, let’s me work at home, and has great additional benefits like paying for my gym membership.
