So how many days do you take a year? As the other comments also touch upon, it becomes an outperform thing with co- workers, to take the least amount to "perform better". Also how easy and often do managers then deny requests?

With a fixed set it has an actual value, at the company they can't deny PTO's as they are yours. Of course planning comes into play a little bit, but if you let the company know that 2 months from now you take 4 weeks off for a good long summer holiday, that is what you will be doing then in those 2 months.

ps. I have 25 personal paid days, a bunch of public holidays. Doctor's appointments are on the 'please try to schedule them outside working hours if possible, otherwise, well, that's life, you need to visit that doctor'. Full travel reimbursement (fixed amount per month, can spend however i want), A lot of secondary items in my contract as well dealing with having to take care of partner / children if they become sick (is paid time off), etc etc.

More like putting a post-it on the ads in magazines. You are not altering anything for the next person, or even for yourself after reloading a page.

I ran into it when it was just starting up. It was almost not active at that point, really an alpha idea of what could become a reddit like system but federated. You can imagine that it was just a few people test posting.

A lot of work has been done by a whole bunch of people to actually getting this far over those years. Which is, however you see it very commendable.

We are owned by three different ones, one of those a typical brain cell sharing red tabby cat. He loves to be touched. Those others, only when they are really in the mood.

😆 i'll try and calm down, we don't want me flooding the Fediverse with my insane posting schedule!

And thank you! Those years have flown by indeed!

 

Send me a random thought, meme, wisdom or take that time to donate to a good cause!

 

I'm trying to get rid of my Google dependency and one of those steps was moving over to Protonmail. Now in the past few days i have been picking up signals that even Protonmail is not as clean as it might be.

Does this really impact the privacy of how i use email and so is moving to Protonmail a step forward from Google, or is Protonmail just as bad?

If so, what could be alternatives?


edit:

Some of the alternatives being mentioned in the comments are:

Email:

VPN:

edit 2 (2023):

There seems to be some new activity around this post. At the time of writing the post (2 years ago) there were some stories going as user @UnfortunateShort described in their comment. This made me question the best options available at that moment. Currently i am still a Proton user, using their Mail and Calendar service, and Mullvad for VPN.
