Last week I published some new research that frankly surprised me.

I continue to hear more conversation about unlimited vacation time. It makes me wonder if having a defined vacation benefit is an old-school concept. Unlimited vacation (or unlimited PTO) isn’t a license to not get the work done. Whether the company has a formal vacation benefit or not, the work still must get done.
