Modern Journalism: An Interesting Example

[Mark Rippetoe]

One-third of workers would give up some pay for unlimited vacation

[Mark D]

Since "unlimited vacation" is also known as "unemployment", would they be willing to give up ALL pay?

[Nockian]

"Have cake and eat it" economics.

So if they "give" it to you but you cant "take" it withoute getting "shitcanned" for not "completing" your work what the fuck do all these terms even mean? Does the English language even exist anymore? ClownWorld...part deux.

Sounds like “discretionary PTO”. Like tax brackets, but with signatures replacing increasing percentages.

The journalist wrote "unlimited vacation" for a cut in salary. He should have written that the people in the study generally prefer up to 26% less pay and increased vacation time-not "unlimited vacation". The English language still exists, the problem is that this journalist appears not to understand the difference between the term 'unlimited' and the term 'increased'. Accurate reporting is dead.
