Do you use your sick days interchangeably with PTO days? Does your manager care either way?

Yes, I do and our company doesn't care. They are all the same. We don't have to give extensive reasoning for when we take off so it makes no difference why we are using the days or if they are sick days or PTO.

That’s good. Our sick days aren’t questioned but I wonder if someone is watching

My manager, bless her heart, is pretty understanding. She gets that startups are intense, and as long as the work gets done (and we're not hacking away at code with a 104-degree fever), she trusts us to manage our time and well being.

Love that for you. We should be treated as adults after all

They are not set apart of my company. We have unlimited PTO so we don't get sick days. They just expect us to use the PTO for any sick days.

Makes sense. Sucks that you don’t get paid out unused PTO though. Do people take advantage of the unlimited PTO?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
