Date: July 23rd, 2025 12:24 PM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) Are we talking about 4 weeks PTO on paper, i.e., what would happen IRL?
Or are these 4 magical weeks of PTO where I can take a real vacation and not have to worry about work?
I'd pay $0.00 for the former; probably ~$175K for the latter. |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 12:27 PM Author: disco fries (his own flesh as well as all space was still a cage) In this day and age there really is no such thing as PTO. You're always on. The trade off is that you don't have to go to an office and have a lot more flexibility during your day-to-day, but everyday is a workday, and the workday starts at 6 am and goes to 11pm or later.

Date: July 23rd, 2025 12:49 PM Author: Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy That would be 7 days less than I get now, and I take all of it. (I also get Juneteenth, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day off.) And I can take random days and don’t have to take it in 1 week blocks like some biglaw corporate cuck.
BTW some people at my company who started here long ago had a deal where they got something like another week of vacation every 5 years they stayed up to a total of 8 weeks. There were older people I worked with who took 8 weeks of real vacation per year and would not respond to any emails while they were out of the office. Most of them were in niche roles they could do in their sleep, though.

Edit: I'd take a pro rated paycut for reduction in billable hours requirements. I dgaf about advancing in my career. Non equity partner is the best I'd get anyway and that's flame. |
