    Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

    Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

    Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.











  • There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.

    Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.

    Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)

    It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.
