That sounds ignorant of reality and abusive at best. In my former org when we go into q4 things get a bit crazy and chaotic. Once the dust settles my manager would let us take a week off and do whatever we wanted. No vacation needed, just don't come to office and do something fun.
Its sad how many orgs still abuse salaried employees time.
- mschuster91 5y agoLet me guess, some kind of ad, marketing or e-government agency? The "clients have leftover budget they need to burn or next year's budget shrinks" problem is real. I wonder why no large company has ever discovered the absurd waste this budget policy causes. Add to that the problems associated with tenders (= sometimes absurd amounts of money wasted for pitching) and the overhead of way too many stakeholders and feedback loops on client side... in many a project the single thing that makes the most savings is a competent (!) PO on client side that gets "dictatorship powers" from their C-level that can override petty politics and internal squabbles if they threaten progress too much.
