      That's why this stuff is illegal over here. If you have to do a single thing for the company, the entire day - by law - does not count as vacation. Ergo, those "unlimited vacations" would turn into "unlimited days of home office" and ZERO vacation.

    I gotta say, this video is 200% true. I used to work for NVIDIA, and it's the same. You have to ask your manager for vacation/time-off. "Work it out with your managers." They said. So between hardware/software launches; peer pressure; begging for permissions; engineering passive personalities; hardworking lifestyle. Not many were taking vacations. What this policy DOES, is giving executives and managers more vacation time. Without a tracking system, and without asking for permissions. Also for California, the company is not obligated to save that vacation money for you since there's no time tracking. This is a total scam system.

    Solution to this problem: mandatory minimum vacation days. This way, everyone gets at least some vacation time and they should be encouraged to take actual time off during these mandatory "holidays". That way, working vacations can feel different from the ones that should be exclusively for recharging the old batteries.

      @@Burpzzz Solution to that problem: make them take a large percentage (75%) of them or they have to take a week of forced vacation, staggered near the end of the period if multiple employees don't take them. Plus, they can only roll over 10% of their allotted days from the current year. No rolling over year to year. In other words, you can't roll over enough days to take an entire year completely off.

First I just wanna say I'd completely love to have a system like that in place, because that would make my life and scheduling a lot easier. However, I know a few friends that are very motivated to work as much as they can, and simply don't enjoy the idea of taking time off, even if it makes money, they'd prefer to work overtime and get more as well as some of the guys genuinely are so in love with their job they don't look for mandatory vacations.

    My company has the exact same policy (unlimited leaves) and every second of this video is so true. Since we don't have any sort of balance of leaves I actually don't know how many leaves should I take that would look decent to my manager. I was asking my friends in other companies about the no. Of leaves they get to get some idea. Also feel peer pressure when taking leaves plus my manager is a workaholic making it even tougher to ask for timeoff. Infact in the last 4 months I've just taken 2 leaves. It actually creates alot of office stress if you're team is discouraging towards vacations.

I’m not sure exactly what happened since my mom works at a different place now, but I think last I heard she was voice recording all of her meetings with her boss and forwarding emails to HR. Idk if voice recording is legal for lots of states though, so if you’re ever in that situation you might want to look it up.

    That reverse psychology with the leave days, I saw back in high school, when a teacher who already had 2 lessons earlier took the class of another teacher who was absent.
    We'd all start groaning, then he'd allow anyone who didn't want to learn, to leave the class. "I only want to deal with the ones who want to learn, I can deal with even 5 students." She said. First, There was that fear of unknown consequences, maybe it's a trap and u will be on the wrong for taking up the offer.
    Maybe the teacher will keep a grudge and kick u out of class next day. Maybe she'll get u in trouble with ur parents.
    Maybe it's genuine, but the second issue was peer pressure. People were looking at each other, for someone to take point and lead the way. Nobody wanted to be the one who goes against the grain, so everyone got stuck there, with the keys to the jail cell, but elected to lock themselves in.

    I got an idea: 40 vacation days/year. You're getting a vacation regardless, but the first to request specific days off is the first to get them. Those days are blacked out for request by you if the company can't afford for you to have a vacation on that day/can't plan for that absence. If you have not submitted requests for all your vacation days and had those requests approved, the company will automatically assign a vacation day.
    You will be prohibited from doing anything work-related on vacation days, including doing your normal job or responding to work communications.

    This works well with companies implementing agile methodology where they consider people getting a vacation into planning. They can break down the tasks into like two week sprints. Once it got chunked like that, its easier to manage. You can file a leave outright on a planning day lets say on the first day of sprint where the planning takes place . Also the boss must be a work-life balance advocate or this will not be possible.

    I worked in a job with an unlimited paid sick policy. You were supposed to be home and they could check up on you back then (they don't now) but they found that people took less sick days than if they would have been given 10 paid sick days a year, or something similar.

    Another reason Netflix employees may be hesitant to take vacation is the fear that the person standing in for them during that time may end up taking their job. With an excellent job like working for Netflix I can imagine most employees are terrified of losing said job so are probably always looking over their shoulders, worried that someone better may replace them.

  • @johngreen7726

    Well you should also include the fact that in California where Netflix is, if you have vacation hours saved up they have to pay you out when you leave, problem solved there since nothing saved up. I got over 500 hours at my job when I leave I'm ready for that nice check 🤘

    The company I work for has "unlimited vacation" but... If you take any time off over the amount they gave you before the policy change you get flagged and spoken to about using too much....so it's basically the same policy, but now if you leave the company you loose the payout of the hours you accrued

    I always thought the standard was around 15 days or two weeks per year. If you are not counting weekends the 15 days would be like having 3 weeks off. I would figure you're pretty safe as long as you don't take more than that when you start, and then maybe give yourself another week after you've been there a while.

  • @Daminoa
    @Daminoa 3 года назад

    Simple, get around 4 days for Easter, 2 days for valentines, 2 week for summer, a week for thanksgiving, 3 days for Black Friday and a week and half for Christmas, which would be around a month and 10-11 days depending on the days of the month, but you still work on weekends

    I was hit with covid right when I started my new job which was around my birthday. I felt like dying but was also going through training. I didn't want to disappoint the team, especially because it was majority white. When you are black, you will more than likely want to set higher standards. It's been months and I still haven't taken a single day off, often working 9 day hours. Don't be like me! My boss encouraged I take as much time as I needed off, but I couldn't start with a bad impression. Now, the team trusts me and I'll win. However, find a balance! That's the lesson!

But didn’t you infect all your co-workers? You should of stayed in bed. No one will fault you for getting sick. I recovered from Covid last year, but I stayed home and quarantined myself to protect my friends, family and co-workers.

    In which real company does managers encourage employees to take vacation? Netflix really does? In my 15 years' in IT field, I've only ever seen managers grumbling and trying to guilt trip you into abandoning vacation plans. And in some cases, outright deny vacation requests because of "upcoming work". All of these in case of fixed number of vacations. Such managers will also outright deny vacation requests when the company flips to unlimited vacation.

Except if you're with the union (for me anyways) where I get 15 paid sick days and can accumulate up to 50 days)

    In all fairness, not all business or educational models fit all settings. If you are familiar with the Foxfire books, and the history behind them, you will understand that while they were successful for the particular group within which they were first created, that success didn't translate well into other educational settings. So too with the idea of unlimited vacations. Many of us, myself including, do not work in industries where this would be feasible. To that end, unless you are remote office employee, and have near unlimited mobile data, taking unlimited vacation time and still being able to keep up with your work load from a remote location is inconceivable. Also, not all office jobs are necessarily flexible enough to permit working remotely for extended periods, which I think many of should have learned during the Covid lockdowns. There is a balance here, but it is not one that many companies can achieve, and it requires a form of leadership that many supervisors and bosses are incapable of exercising. Yes, it may work for Netflix and a few others, but it won't work for everyone, but that is perfectly fine, as it doesn't need to.

    I've worked for companies with the unlimited vacation model. It's a joke. Vacation doesn't accrue, so if you don't take it, you can't build up the days or cash them out when you leave. Meanwhile, the accounting people don't have to keep track of unused vacation as a liability. And yes, unlimited vacation also means you are entirely at the mercy of your boss. It's a silicon valley bait and switch.
