"unlimited time off" is a scam. Actually any non-government mandated leave is dubious.

In Australia, you get 4 weeks PTO (called "annual leave" here) by law, which accrues if you don't use it and is paid out when you resign or are laid off. Companies want you to take this leave because otherwise your accrued leave becomes a liability.

Most places I've worked, everyone sees people going on leave as a very positive thing.

We also get 10 days of sick leave which accrues every year as well so you can save your annual leave for vacations.

A contract for a salaried position may say something like "you will work 40 hours a week but you maybe have to work some moderate overtime to complete tasks at certain times throughout the year." (Probably better worded than that) but that means they can expect you to work overtime every now and then if there is a deadline or a project that requires it. But if its every week or an unreasonable amount of overtime per week then you should be compensated with time in lieu or extra money. It all depends on your contract.

When I ready mini painting I though you were talking about doing normal paintings on tiny canvases. 😅

Do yourself a favour, delete your account and never look back.

I lean into it. "Oh you only slept for 20 mins? I feel great, I got a full 8 hours. I don't even drink caffeine because I sleep so well".

The one time I missed it was when I was trying to sell a subwoofer which only has RCA inputs and I had to use my laptop top prove it worked to potential buyers. Other than that, I use Bluetooth exclusively.

This happened to a guy I knew but the other way around. He turned up late to the bucks party, started crying and saying he wasn't ready for marriage and ended up cancelling everything and paying the bride-not-to-be's parents back for everything.

I think they just rushed into it and he realised at that moment.
