You have a limited amount of time in your life. It’s your time, you can use it how you want. The way you want to use it is how you end up using it. You’re welcome to use your time to do things that others see as destructive. Of course there may be consequences. I do believe in forced PTO because it creates an opportunity for someone to think about what to do with that time (which like you said, hopefully many people choose to use that time to decompress or rest). Up to them what decision they make. It tells a company what happens when a specific person is gone (Is Kelly the only one who knows how to do X? Is Chris stealing?). I think there’s possibly a company culture argument where you don’t want a person on PTO logging into Slack, grabbing Jira tickets, going to meetings, or whatever. In that case you maybe end up firing the person if they cross whatever line too many times. But of course if the person is valuable enough, you might look the other way. Or your culture might be such that you don’t care. Up to the company.
