Anyone have unlimited pto - how do you wisely make the most out of this benefit?

Let's start a thread to highlight which industries and/or companies are doing right by their employees this holiday season. Share your job title and what kind of year-end bonus you are getting. (Feel free to share your company's name if you are comfortable doing that)

Is there any downside or risk to using up all my vacation days that are allotted to a FT employee (even though they are accrued throughout year) THEN switching to part time? (Where part time employees get proportionally fewer vacation days)

A couple months ago, I was promoted to mid-level designer and was given a raise that I believe was less than I should've received. I discussed it with my director, who also believed I should've gotten more and told me to connect with HR about it. I never actually got to meet with HR because they didn't respond to my first appointment request and then I went on vacation, returned, got swamped on projects, etc. Any advice for negotiating raise with HR (rather than your boss who knows your work)?

Do they verify military duty dates, or can I just enter military PTO when needed. Sometimes dates change or I want to add a day prior for travel or something. Do they need to see published orders dates for military PTO?

👀 Still looking for an apartment swap in NYC. I have a clean apartment in Mexico City. The dates are October 27th to November 3rd, Day of the Dead holiday weekend. With LOTS happening.

Beyond charitable contributions and time together, what is the best holiday gift you've received from family? (Doesn't need to be expensive, just something you use or appreciate a lot.)

How do your firms do payroll? This is like the 5th time in 26 months that paychecks weren’t timely deposited. Allegedly, the boss did everything right and this is something in the payroll company. But his stuff is getting crazy and everyone is out on PTO, I’m kinda like: meet minimum ethical obligations and no more. Once or twice, I understand. But this is becoming regular.

startup Gig Alert: I am looking for a brand designer to join our startup team at Lifelines (truly a startup and we’re not in stores yet). We’re a product company set for revolutionizing how people approach sensorial wellness and I’m looking for someone with holistic experience in branding / art direction with a clear, bold visual style. Around 5 years of experience preferred. But work and personality trump years in experience. Always remote+unlimited PTO. Send me books / portfolios.

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.

Didn’t think to ask who was in Ptown for the 4th. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

How do you define vacation days and how many a year do you take? Could you please also state the company? Thanks a lot!!
