成人X站 Newsradio’s Gee Scott said he “absolutely loves” unlimited time off.

Gee, the co-host of The Gee & Ursula Show, explained, “I love companies being trailblazers and trendsetters when it comes to mental health and vacation days.

Microsoft will also offer workers 10 corporate holidays.

Former 成人X站 News Director and co-host Ursula Reutin said, “as someone who has done schedules, I just wonder how this is going to work.

“Because if everybody wants to get a lot of days off, how do you make a company work when you have to have a certain number of people doing certain jobs? Right?” she exclaimed. “Not everybody can take all the time. And it sounds like a great way to recruit top talent.”

Gee & Ursula producer Andrew “Chef” Lanier was more skeptical.

“If your work demands are so high that it’s impossible to take that time off, then it’s not a real policy.”

The new policy does not apply to hourly or contract workers or people outside the U.S.

Post-pandemic, other large companies are taking away remote work, demanding that they return to corporate offices at least several days a week.
