give us a shout after your first performance review...
unlimited paid time off policy? what does that even mean?
Sure probably the yearly figure sounds nice but what price do you put on your soul?
In reality most people fail to take any holidays apart from about 2 weeks a year. A few then disappear for 4 to 6 months after 4+ years working for the company."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Basically this but there is also a mandatory minimum. 10 days in the US but I will be hired under a U.K. employment contact so minimum will likely be whatever the U.K. minimum is now (4-5 weeks I think).Originally posted by SueEllen View Post
