Description

Unlimited paid time off is a common perk in the tech industry, but as one company discovered, an open-ended vacation policy led to confusion and even burnout. Dan Jimenez of Chatbooks comes on Rework to talk about how they shifted from unlimited to mandatory PTO, and how they're recalibrating expectations for work, productivity, and rest during a turbulent time.Show Notes"How the 'Knives Out' Costume Designer Chose Chris Evans' Perfect Sweater" (The Hollywood Reporter) - 1:50"27 Days in Tokyo Bay: What Happened on the Diamond Princess" (Wired) - 2:16Wailin and Shaun discussed how they spent their sabbaticals in "The Bean Machine" - 2:51Basecamp's PTO policy - 3:11We addressed our PTO policy change in "It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work - Part 1" and "Rework Mailbag 1 - Part 2" - 3:25Dan Jimenez on LinkedIn | Twitter - 3:42Chatbooks - 3:45Nate Quigley, CEO of Chatbooks - 5:49Rachel Hofstetter, CMO at Chatbooks - 18:37Dan Jimenez's Twitter thread about changing Chatbooks' PTO policy - 19:36"What is Hygge?" - 23:35John Wick - 24:18Boy Smells - 24:35literary candles from Hearth & Hammer - 24:39We featured Hearth & Hammer on the episode "Bubble Wrap and Prayers" - 24:42A24 x Joya film genre candles - 24:47Bath & Body Works white pumpkin candle - 26:42Shaun gets his togarashi from Third Street Market in Whitefish, Montana - 27:07
