Workinga 9-to-5 from an office with zero flexibility is a thing of the past.
This employer has just proven exactly that, highlighting his no-need-to-explain-why-you-need-a-holiday policy.
A new team member asked me to approve his holiday, Tom started.
I immediately approved it.
TheCEOcontinued: He then went on to explain why he was taking the holiday.
My reply: I dont need to know the details.
I hired you to do a job and I trust you to get it done.

We are all human.
He added: I am not a clock watcher.
I trust you to get your job done.
Flexible work is the future.
As it turns out, plenty of people agreed.
Someone who understands sometimes work has to work around your own life.

Every day is a Saturday 3.
Work isnt a place you go, it is something you do 4.
Stop doing any activity that is a waste of your time, clients time, or companys money 5.
You get unlimited paid time off, including holiday, sickness, etc.
as long as the work is done.
Nobody talks about how many hours they work 7.
Every meeting is optional 8.
There Is never a wrong time to do the right thing 9.
You dont need to turn off anyone elses light to get to shine 10.
There are no work schedules 12.
You are responsible for results and to call out anyone or anything at any level that doesnt fit.
To which Tom replied: Love these!
However what they are paying for is my ability to do a job.
I still did the same work as everyone else.
The job is done, why not log off and use the downtime for something else?
