Principles

<aside>

🏄‍♀️ Rest is Part of the Job. Taking your time off is key to your success and the team’s success. It sustains your progress and performance as a member of the team.

🌺 Norms > Caps. PTO is unlimited, with a shared expectation of approximately 15 days per year, with a minimum standard of 10 days per year. This creates consistency without introducing a ceiling.

The norm is that the longest consecutive period of PTO should be 1-week, anything more than that should be an exception.

🏡 PTO vs. WFH PTO = if you are unavailable or going to be unresponsive for most of the day

WFH = if you are not in the office, but you are working, available and responsive. If there’s a time difference, you are expected to be available at least half of the normal EST day (see working norms here)

🚢 We Keep Shipping When you're out, the company keeps moving. Critical work, commitments, and team momentum don't pause because someone’s on vacation. Ensuring coverage, handoffs, and planning matters: so your time off is real rest, and the team isn’t disrupted.
