Had an interview today that I feel okay to good-ish about. Was hoping to talk to the person I'd be working under but they were tied up on time sensitive stuff so I just talked to the HR person.
He was telling me that in addition to a very modest amount of conventional PTO, they give a paid weekday off every three weeks. It was spun like a good thing because the amount of total time off was more than the national average, but that's pretty dishonest right? PTO is conventionally understood to be time you can take off whenever for whatever reason, not fixed days off like holidays.
I generally like the vibe of the place but it's got weird things like that, plus not being open to hybrid because it doesn't align with their "values" and some Russel Brand quotes hung up on the walls
It honestly sounds like a way to keep you from accruing PTO (that they will eventually have to pay you for when you leave)
Like others have said, if the vibe is off maybe say "yeah, nah" (unless your current work situation is worse)
My current work situation is nothing soooo
Maybe go for it, but remember:
Cannot emphasize how right LaGG is for this one. I wouldn't want to surprise my coworkers with it because I like them, but otherwise yeah. Make some money, realize it's not your tempo, and leave. You don't even need to feel guilty knowing that it's self serving; my therapist said so.
Take it then. If it's unbearable you can always quit
