What if instead of getting a specific number of paid days off each year, you were allowed to take off as much time as you wanted to, as long as your work got done? Some portion of you are thinking “that sounds awesome,” while some portion of you are suspiciously thinking “but what if my work is never really done?” Both groups are right — these policies can be awesome, but they can also result in some unforeseen consequences that are not so awesome.
