My company has an unlimited leave policy. Also the company recently laid off my coworker for taking too many leaves. What's going on here ?
The “unlimited” leave policy does not mean you can go on leave for an unlimited duration, no? It’s obvious there should be a reasonable balance.
It doesn’t help that the unlimited leave policy saw a majority of the folks take lesser leaves. When you have a fixed set of leaves and lapsing, people end up taking leaves just because the count is there.
And another reason is that you get encashment for remaining leaves when you’re laid off or when you quit. With unlimited leaves, the company saves this cost.
It’s criminal to think that any company would make policies that favour their employees. All policies favour employers at all times 😊
This! This is totally right
This totally makes sense! Gosh corporates are like blood sucking vampires.
I had this in previous company, got viral had to take 3 days consecutive leave. My manager called 1-o-1 to tell me to beware of HR action
The fuck! 😂
Unlimited leaves is only in name. If work gets affected you will too
Unlimited leaves is a scam to make employees guilty of taking leaves and also save leave encashment money.
If you have pending leaves you will take leave with unlimited leaves you will feel bad for taking leaves.
Win win for employer.
