The only way to make this actually work is to also impose a minimum time off for everyone. So everyone has to take at least 2-3 weeks off per year in total.

- patja 4y agoI like the places that just shut the whole company down for specific weeks each year. 2 weeks at the end of the year, 2 weeks in August, etc. You also get the benefit of coming back to a reasonable inbox. It is not really practical for all of Microsoft to do that though, especially for customer-facing roles.
- mrguyorama 4y agoOur company shuts down for a few days between christmas and the new year. The justification is that we have a retail style income so we don't really do anything useful those days anyway. The actual reason is that if you are hourly you have to use up vacation time for those days or not get paid. It's literally pinching pennies.
