What are the most absurd leave policies you all have experienced/ heard of?
What the fuck are sandwich leaves???? What is the point of them???
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 😊
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.
This is same as flexible working hours. It doesn’t mean you can work anytime you want. It means I will make you work anytime I want
Unlimited leaves is just a cop out from toxic founders In reality you end up taking much lesser than the standard 21-23 leaves and that’s the purpose
Heard of navi ? They also have unlimited leaves policy.
However in practice the company is actually a jail.
It takes ceos approval To take wfh or leave more than 5 years.
Needless to say no-one actually dares to reach out to him.
Win win for the company !!!
If I remember correctly, employees at companies with unlimited leaves take less leaves than companies with a fixed number of leaves because employees are not sure what an appropriate number of leaves to take is.
So unlimited leaves is not a benefit to employees.
What the fuck are sandwich leaves???? What is the point of them???
