I’ve worked at a few places with “unlimited PTO” and I totally agree.

It sounds great in practice: “as long as your work is getting done, take as much PTO as you want!” In reality, it never works out that way because there’s never a “good” time to take a vacation; if you don’t have vacation days that you have to use, you won’t use them.

My first comment on Lemmy and someone thinks I’m an AI 😂

It sounds crazy, but trust me: a corn cob backscratcher.

It’s essentially just a dried piece of corn on a wooden stick. But the texture is perfect, and because it’s rounded, it covers a much larger area than a regular backscratcher and is much more satisfying to use. My wife bought me one for $11 and I swear by it. You simply cannot go back to a regular backscratcher after trying one.

Oh, and they’re indestructible. My in-laws still use one from 1979!
