I got the offer letter! They have a sucky PTO policy (2 weeks plus one week sick leave) but the owner seemed up for discussing reinstating unlimited PTO, which they used to have before one person fucked it up for them. Anyway, am nervous but excited.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hurray, Lisa!! Great news. I hate it when one person ruins the nice things for everyone.

Yay Lisah! That is a remarkably sucky PTO policy indeed unless they also like, close for a week at Christmas and in the summer or something.

They do not! They do give you your birthday off though. Whoopie

How are the logistics, Lisa? Remote? Hybrid? Convenient to home if you have to go to office?
Sometimes, I actually miss an office. The commute (via metro) into Georgetown for my last job was a pain in the butt, but I liked my actual office and a good portion of the people who worked there.

Yeah, that's what my company does, except they frame it as three weeks! Which you can use for either sick leave or PTO. And sucks for you if you get sick, I guess. I get another week next August, at least.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's our basically our starting PTO for new hires, 2 weeks vacation + 8 days sick and 2 (I think) floating holidays. You get another week at 5 years and another on top of that at 10, so I now get 4 weeks a year which is nice. Still working out how I can take full advantage of that.
