You take less time off, there is a risk of burning out. You become lazy, and you can be beaten. |
We encourage you to take breaks, with peace. That requires psychological safety. Here is our attempt at enabling it.
- Sundays are a mandatory off Work can wait 1 day. Don’t burn out. Take a break, stroll, and spend time on yourself. Productivity requires discipline, not heroism.
- Mandatory 52 days off every year Life will throw uncertainties. Account for it. Do not worry about being left behind. It'll be fine. 52 days off every year, accrued pro-rata every month; after the first 45 days. All days off above this threshold are likely to cost lost opportunities.
Account time for (but not limited to) the following:
- Celebration time Recommendation to take this after a significant project's completion.
- Recovery time When work output is suffering, take an off and reset yourself.
- Family time They need you too.
- Vacation Travel is the best way to expand horizons.
- Health You are likely to fall sick.
- External commitments Sometimes they'll be unavoidable.
A general rule of thumb is:
Days you’ll be away = Days of advance heads-up to give to your team.
Send a request to your Junior Partner and they will help re-organize work so that your absence doesn't impact your team's progress.
