     @Moon @ilja @chjara we have "unlimited PTO" but I don't really know what that means so I don't take much.

     @ilja @chjara > sick days are basically your leave days
     
     some places but even in USA people see that and know it sucks.

     @chjara I'm not surprised by much there any more. I still remember the Tor project advertising an open vacancy on fedi, which I curiously checked out. They were bragging how you get 16 leave days, and the week between xmas and new years off (with that week being part of the 16 days, so really only 11 days off total). And I also remember someone mentioning that sick days are basically your leave days there... (I hope it's more nuanced, though, but that's how I understood it)

     @thatguyoverthere @Moon @chjara That's something I've heard about as well, but always kinda rubbed me wrong. At first glance it seems good because it implies that you can take days off as much as you need. But in practice you're incentivised to put your job first.
     I have a fixed number of days I'm required to take, and at the end of the year I typically have days left that I then take up. I'm sure I would take less days off in a system of supposed unlimited than what I can do now.
