I got this idea reading a thread about the “Gods Army” convoy to the border. Several people posted things like “don’t these people have jobs”?, or “how do they have the time to go to the border”? And it got me thinking that it’s bullshit for your boss to have veto on your political activities.
I understand that “Gods Army” are chuds, it’s just the principal.
“unlimited time off” is a scam. Actually any non-government mandated leave is dubious.
In Australia, you get 4 weeks PTO (called “annual leave” here) by law, which accrues if you don’t use it and is paid out when you resign or are laid off. Companies want you to take this leave because otherwise your accrued leave becomes a liability.
Most places I’ve worked, everyone sees people going on leave as a very positive thing.
We also get 10 days of sick leave which accrues every year as well so you can save your annual leave for vacations.
