Some companies I've been at swung in the opposite direction and I was really greatful for it.
E.g. At Microsoft you have a max amount of vacation days that you can accrue before they start expiring, and managers get dinged whenever their directs have expiring vacation days.
The result: Managers would encourage taking vacation
- bb88 5y agoYes, I absolutely agree with that, and that takes leadership to prioritize your employee's benefits at the same level of deliverables. It's easier to think that employee vacations are worthless as a manager since it doesn't actually contribute to any direct profit. But if you're an employee, and that was a selling point of joining the company, it certainly sucks when the promise of vacation could never be materialized -- because work was apparently too important.
