Unlimited leaves, no need approval, just team consensus. Expectation is that you let your team know before you take any leaves (1 day, 3 weeks,etc)

Apart from the above there are some general offerings such as 10 public holidays, bereavement leaves, ml/pl leaves and sabbatical options.

45 days on paper. But I need to just DM the team whenever I need a leave.

How many leaves do I take after having practically unlimited - maybe 20

The sabbatical policy is super nice although. 1 mo for each year.
I took 3 mo off after working 3 years.

Is this paid sabbatical?

Tell 2x advance for leave and if its a WFH half day is deducted from your leaves or salary if no leaves left.

My 1st company was like this, left it within 8 months and now I don’t even mention that shithole on my resume

Paternity leave of about 2-4 weeks. Depending on manager and project

20 annual leaves and 15 sick leaves, but the worst part is you can only opt for sick leave if you are taking it for 3 or more continuous days. 🤮

Woah didn’t know MS has this good policy. How do you justify your sick leave?

SquishyUnicorn

No questions are asked for sick leaves less than 3 days. More more than 3 days we need to submit a doctor's note.

Minimum legal leaves 14 days as the company is registered in singapore and also not very generous with leaves

I like Nas videos on FB. But he seems like Elon promoting unhealthy work culture. He even said once its already tough for him to run the company but yet I see Nas summit and new stuff

Yes he is different from what you see in the video, very stubborn and doesnt give a shit about the employees only throws sugar coated stuff at us but i always knew what i was signing up for and the pay is good so thats all i care for now

There is a study that given unlimited leaves, people tend to take lesser leaves. Just my 2 cents. Another point to add is that employer doesn’t have to encash. We’ve 21 annual leaves. 14 sick/casual leaves. No rejection so far. Sometimes can’t be same between 2 people.
