Right before going on Thanksgiving break, I started to think about time off policies, specifically for remote-first companies. Do policies differ between in-office teams vs. remote-first teams? How much time off is given at remote companies? To give an example, as a Product Manager at a distributed company we receive unlimited PTO. Weβre encouraged to take anywhere from 2-3 days per month on average. Sometimes I will not take any days off for 2-3 months and then take a week to balance it all. Unlimited is pretty flexible for me as it allows me to not worry about when or how to request time. It takes away a lot of overhead from the employee.
