It seems strange to fix a specific day, people might need a day off for dealing with their mental health on another day of the year.



This is where you need to see the glass half full.

Obviously, serious mental health issues are not restricted to a fixed day per year. Yet the company did give some relief, which they also could not have done at all. There's a real world cost to giving you that day, and in my view, money talks.

More importantly, I find consistency between messaging and actions important.


I mean we also get unlimited vacation time and it's encouraged to be used. This is just one of the fifteen holidays we get.
