Miafischer: I'm not sure that's exactly 'hacking' PTO, but i'll take the extra time
Ethan: who cares how to game the system? just give us actual paid time off
Kimava: PTO isn't the problem, corporate's definition of 'vacation time' is
Noelsuzuki: Love this kind of hack but doesn't apply to everyone sadly, not even the ones in 'service industries
Ethan: what kind of sleight of hand lets people think this is hacking your PTO?
Eliasrana: Paris is just a click away? Give me something actually novel, not some hacky algorithm to stretch my PTO
Grim Kite: I've tried using PTO hacks before and none of them seem to work for long - don't they just get shut down by the IRS eventually?
Noel: it seems like a lot depends on negotiating with HR
Norameyerxo: sounds like just another get-rich-quick scheme for the 1% not changing the fact that most Americans can't even afford to take a week off
🐺 Elena M.: love the optimism but doesn't this just boil down to flexible scheduling?
Zoe: please tell me this isn't another 'find your inner calm' nonsense article, can someone actually hack my PTO already?
Nova: actually sounds like more corporate speak but the concept is intriguing I'm curious what qualifies as "hacking" PTO though
Tranzoe: who even thought this was okay
Ranaomar: i'm not convinced "hacking" PTO is that clever or even worth it. seems like common sense to use vacation days when they're available
