- 18 Vacation days
- You start with 10, but get more the longer you're with the company
- You can rollover up to 25 days every year
- Company compensates you for unused PTO when you leave the company
- 11 paid holidays (6 flex)
- 7 paid sick days
- Can rollover up to 25 days a year
- Parental PTO
- New babies or adoptions
- Bereavement PTO
- Up to 3 days paid
Personally I'm good with the amount of PTO I get. My company is also full remtote, so that helps as well. AFAIK no one ever has an issue with time off being approved. As long as you put in your request early enough for the length of PTO.
- 18 Vacation days

Comment on Looking for lighthearted action anime in ~anime

Dr. Stone's final season is starting off real strong. I'm super interested in how this show ends. Depending on how this finishes, this could be a top 5 for me.
Sakamoto Days is really fun. Kind of like Ways of the House husband and John Wick. They have this theme that is basically You Say Run, but not as good. Not a fan of that, but otherwise a good show.

The premise also makes it seem like they want to play into the fanbase that don't like Korra by making her the cause of this calamity.
ATLA/LoK will always be in my Top 5 animated series, so I'll give this a shot. But I have low expectations.

Suffice it to say the actual problem is that this is two movies trying to be one.

I didn't really want a sequel because I imagined it would become a more staight forward action narrative. This still seems to have a mystery angle and the chemistry between Affleck and Berenthal looks good. I have a bit of hope for this. I'm looking forward to watching it

My friend also warned me about WebOS. So I'll just have to use my Google TV stick. Which is a bit sad as I loved WebOS back when the Palm Pre first came out.

A lot of reviews say it's not as bright as Samsung S90D and some people need to tune the settings to make the C4 brighter to be good enough. So seeing the complaints here is giving me a different perspective.

Yea I've read those replies from him and honestly it just seems like he's not at all interested. He just doesn't want to say it directly. That's okay, I'm just not holding my breath waiting for an animated adaption 😅
