Tell me your feelings on unlimited PTO! I’m trying to decide how much it should factor in my decision between a couple similar offers. Do you take it often and does the company respect it, or do you work nonstop and you aren’t actually afforded the time/flexibility to use it?

Unlimited PTO is priceless because of convenience. If it’s abused it’ll show up in utilisation reports. People will respect coworkers who gets their job done and are noticed when they aren’t around.

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve found it all comes down to culture. Some places that offer is actually discourage you from using it and you end up taking less time off than if you accrued it. Other places I’ve found to be very chill with it, especially if you request it in advance. Ask a lot of those culture-type questions to anyone referring you or others you may know there.

Could please anyone help me with:

2- How do you pay CPP, and all the other expenses that company discount from your salary when you're full-time?
3- is it legal that company requires a mandatory schedule, when you're in "contract"?

This is for a Business Analyst position.
Thanks!

Has anyone used an Airbnb experience photographer while on a vacation. I know the experience will vary greatly, but generally speaking, how does it work? Is it like when you go to some of these studios and they hold your pictures hostage till you fork over a bunch of $$? The ones I’ve viewed said they give you X amount of digital pics within 2 days. Are you expected to tip the photographer and if so, how much?
