I thought it's really interesting approach to offer because he was willing to really give everybody one week off every two months.

I think that's a lot.

They were like, what if I wanted to take more than one week off?

There were so many questions in the beginning.

So the first few weeks were just like, okay, let's just try.

All of my colleagues, one by one, they took that week off and they were really like pushed not to use any communication tools, not respond to messages, anything, anything.

And from what I saw, they were super happy.

One of them would start painting classes.

The other one, I think, he went to a yoga retreat.

So the first vacations, these mandatory vacation times, were like people really paid attention to them.

But it's also something new.

It's something different.

It was quite exciting.

It's basically allowing myself to rest and not feel guilty about it.

Because you see the rest of your colleagues on Instagram sharing things from work or whatever, you are allowed to not care for a week.

It's lovely.

It's nice.

Recommended.

I will just directly switch off all my notifications from Slack, from Gmail, and everything.

It can wait until Monday.

It's only a week.

And you were the only one who fell out.

The laughing.

It's funny.

No, because it sounds fake because I know what your laugh sounds like.

It's usually more pronounced like, oh.
