Would you swap your PTO for cash?
Plus: This is how to get paid in USDT (crypto)
Breet wants to show you how to get paid in USDT. Check this out!
Hello Buddy,
Have you heard about the latest trend with PTO?
Turns out companies are getting ‘very creative’ with how Paid Time Off (PTO) works, and allowing people to convert it to cash, just to retain employees.
While this might sound like a win-win on the surface (cos who doesn’t want more money), I have 2 thoughts:
If your salary isn’t enough, shouldn’t you be negotiating a better one or finding a better opportunity? Not cashing out your rest days just to survive
The companies offering a "PTO for cash" swap kind of misses the mark too. I don’t see how they won’t end up with a team of stressed, burnt out people.
Or am I missing something?
What do you think?
Now to what I have curated for you today.

CONFESSIONS OF A NIGERIAN 9-TO-5ER
“The Cleaner Warned Me About My Office Chair. I Didn’t Listen’’
The first time the cleaner spoke to me, it was barely a whisper.
"Madam, your chair, it’s not ordinary."I laughed it off.
In this Lagos, what is ordinary?
Besides, I had deadlines, meetings, and a boss breathing down my neck.I didn’t have time for superstitions.
The second warning came three days later.
She paused again, looked around nervously, and said,
"Aunty be careful ooo."I was so shocked and maybe slightly annoyed cos I generally have never been a fan of nosy people. Biko mind your cleaning madam.
Until one Thursday evening, I stayed late to finish a report.
The office was empty except for the cleaner.
She approached me again, this time more boldly."Aunty, they did something to your chair, check under. E get person wey no want you here."
My blood went cold.
I turned the chair over and there it was: a small red cloth, tied tight, stuffed into a slit underneath.
