Easy one: the unemployment agency.

Unlimited PTO is not a good thing! It just means no pay out if you leave, and you rarely can take it because the companies that offer it usually understaff.

Stop saying unlimited PTO is a bad thing. Vacation policy in the US in general is depressing. My entire family lives abroad and I can barely see them because I only have a two weeks a year off. Any company that tries to give more days to its employees is doing a good service

Unlimited PTO. 7 summer Fridays off. Closed Xmas to New Year. Paid volunteer days. All on top of vacation days (I have 15).

Grey used to offer a ton of PTO days and the office was closed for like 50 holidays. On the flip side you’d have to work at Grey in 2019 to get those benefits.

Publicis has by far the most generous: 15 days plus 9 flex, UNLIMITED sick leave, all public hols doubled. It’s open bet Xmas and New Year on a discretionary basis, but the forgoing makes up for it.
Unlimited PTO is a con - you end up begging for ANY time off - you can underuse through heavy workloads and they owe you nothing.
That person who took off 6 weeks is probably in an expendable or well staffed situation. Or is the CEO.

If they’re not at least offering Xmas-New Years off, plus >2wks vacation, plus WFH, plus summer Fridays, plus paid Volunteer/Purpose days, they’re doing it wrong.

Starcom for sure for the media side

Call me crazy, but evaluating an employer by the amount of time you don’t have to be there doesn’t seem like the best way to objectively measure ideal fit

Because all jobs are the same - at least in pharma

It’s not the allocated time off the agency offers, it’s the agency’s culture of enabling & encouraging you to take time off you need to be looking at.

IPG has unlimited sick and PTO and very flexible work from home options

Not for its subsidiaries. One had just 15 days off with NO sick leave, and only 4 flex days valid for summer only.

Most time off? Whatever agency is laying you off. Plenty of time off when you get the boot!

My co-founder (the CTO) started out strong during our first two years. Then he started backing away despite being still needed. He is almost completely absent now. When he’s not on vacation, which is often, then he might spend half an hour a day answering messages. I’ve spoken about it to him many times and he just gets defensive about doing work I don’t see. How do you deal with an absent co-founder?

Anyone ever wonder why it’s so hard for some sales leaders to understand the simple concept of leading by example? I see this all to often where leaders bark orders at their teams however don’t “practice what they preach.” I wonder why that is….those that lead by example get the buy in from their teams and inject energy and positivity into their sales systems that results in overall higher closing rates! Where do you draw the line of leading by example and delegating….thoughts?
