> Facebook, where Andreessen has long sat on the board, touts its Recharge program, in which workers are encouraged to take a 30-day sabbatical every five years. During the pandemic, Twitter added company-wide mental health breaks called “days of rest,” on top of already-generous leave policies.

These are the perks that the article is saying are now the subject of derision.

One month of vacation in 5 years, and random few days off during the year. That's just baseline decent treatment, who wrote this nonsense, and why?

Here in Germany, I can take a month off and still have 10 vacation days left, every year.

A month of vacation every 5 years sounds vaguely like slave labour to me.

I _think_ they're saying a month off in addition to usual yearly vacation, but it's still nothing like extravagent, even for the US.

It's in addition to normal holidays. Source: worked there (but left just before my recharge was due).
