'The building was empty for most of December': Managers agree to every single vacation request after company eliminates PTO rollover

Everyone uses their allotted time a little differently---some people love to take the family to Disney or on a camping trip a couple of times a year, while others take a few days here and there to do weekend adventures.

Companies love to brag about their great vacation time packages while they're hiring you. A popular perk is “unlimited vacation time ,” but it's not as great as it seems. If you ask to take off three months for no reason, your boss still has to approve it, and they can easily just say no to your request. So unlimited vacation time has a huge asterisk next to it: unlimited so lo…

'I will never forget the expression of defeat on his face': Employee gets 20 days of vacation time after boss sends the wrong paperwork
