“Unlimited”

But don’t expect a day off without the guilt trip. I honestly prefer accrual.

Officially: two weeks
Unofficially on my team: unlimited

I believe we start at 18 PTO days plus 3 flex days

Unlimited is a scam. They know people will be too meek to ask for what they deserve, and then they don’t get accrued days once they resign.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on how to improve my firms parental leave policy. It’s currently 8 weeks paid for birth parent with an extra week for each year at the firm (up to 12 weeks total) and 2 weeks paid for non-birth parent. I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Biz Dev? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a biz dev / accounts person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
