		GnomeChomsky on June 9, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Netflix Reinvented HR (2014) I think I prefer a "minimum vacation days" policy—e.g. each employee has to take 20 days, but you're free to take more as needed.

I've heard that floated before and I think I'd really like it. I think it would probably devolve into "each employee takes EXACTLY 20 days" however, due to the same psychological stresses present in the other schemes. So the best suggestion I think is to have the minimum be generous in itself. Say, 30 days.
