One of the perks of my job is that we have 50 hours a year in addition to our holidays that we can cash in whenever we need them.
Everyone takes them, but my boss uses a handful each year, stays late every night, only uses half his holidays and loses the rest. I’ll never understand it.
It’s short-sighted not to realize that treating people with dignity will improve their motivation and productivity. My work also has a generous policy for time off, but my colleagues are still considerate when they use it by making sure the important things are done before they leave and that the rest of us will be able to handle things in their absence. There will always be a handful of people who abuse the privilege, but they need to be dealt with individually.
From my observation, the types to work late and have no time off either take an immense satisfaction in working or are avoiding something to come home to.
