Would you work somewhere that offered you 3 weeks of PTO but no holidays off? We are considering policies that are holiday neutral for inclusivity's sake.

Absolutely not. I wouldn’t work someplace that had 5 weeks PTO and no holidays. You would need a MINIMUM of 6 weeks for me to consider that.

Hard pass. If you want inclusivity with holidays then you offer a set amount of days to be set aside to be used on the holidays of their choosing. Everyone gets the same number of days to use as they like. That should be on top of the 3 weeks PTO.

I keep thinking about this and how depressing it is that people in leadership positions think this would be ok. You must have absolutely no respect or care for your employees.

Uh, no. 3 weeks PTO is the bare minimum at most companies, NOT inclusive of holidays. Why not just include more holidays instead of taking all of them away???

like

Nope, never. Not to mention 3 weeks is not nearly enough.

Yah I stopped reading after “3 weeks PTO”. I think when I worked at McDonalds I had more than 3 weeks

Inclusivity is giving people off whenever they have their own holidays

This.

Not to mention typically there are about 10 paid holidays so only having 3 weeks would in essence only be giving employees 1 week of time off per year. UNACCEPTABLE.

I get 3 weeks of PTO now and almost 10 days of holiday, so would need at LEAST 5 weeks of PTO and no holidays to “break even”. C’mon, 3 weeks PTO AND holidays is already kinda low so removing the holidays is like highway robbery.

3 weeks of PTO total?

Is this satire? How many social functions will be missed by people with family , friends, etc on normal holiday schedules?

I have wondered just how many of these posts are satire or created by bots. Many of the questions are sometimes too wild to fathom.

Nope had that at a different company and it sucked!!! Had to use PTO when they were closed even if I didn't want to use it

Absolutely not.

That’s pretty ridiculous. Most places offer 10-13 holidays plus at least 2 weeks PTO. 3 weeks of PTO would really be 1 or less comparatively.

Nope,it’s not inclusivity..what holidays are we talking year,like you want folks to work on Christmas Day,not happening sorry..

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?
