China has issued its most detailed warning yet against the excessive-work culture that pervades the country’s largest corporations, as a backlash grows against the punishing demands of the private sector.
I’m trying to, but then you immediately say stuff like this:
Unlimited PTO and they mean it.
No, obviously they don’t mean it. This is calculated propaganda. Just try actually taking unlimited time off, of course that won’t go well. The calculation by the company is that the employees, out of loyalty, will take less time off than if they would give a generous, fixed amount, that actually has to be used. And it seems like in case of your SO, it is working perfectly, since she’s not taking time off.
This all really sounds incredibly calculated by the company. I even believe that her bosses believe they’re being nice, but the actual result if you look at it is the not-taking-time-off, which is perfectly in the interest of the company.
I don’t presume to criticize what you’re doing or dismiss your perspective, I’m just saying how it looks to me from what you’re saying. And for me it looks like fake virtue. Maybe I’m too cynical, certainly possible. I assure you, I have no ill intent here.
Seriously. You need to pull your head out of your ass.
My wife got really lucky with this company. They are not run like most. They are actually based out of one of the Nordic countries (don’t remember exactly which one) which explains why they do things the way they do.
You need to start reading and understanding what people are saying to you. The limit daily is 10 transcripts. Sometimes that takes longer than 8-9 hours, sometimes way less. When someone is done, they are done and not expected to do anything more even with a huge back log. If there is a backlog and someone steps up to do one or two more to help out, my wife and her boss usually figure out a way to give them a half day or another full day off at some point. And if you don’t offer, it’s not held against you.
If I could sit still long enough I would have no problem working on one of the teams that work with hers.
As for the time off. Yes, she takes time off and is getting better about taking more and more.
I’m done here because I don’t need to defend them anymore and I know I can’t change the mind of a zealot. The company is alphasense and you can look it up if you feel the need. Based on this convo though, I doubt you would be a good fit with them.
