Yeah we called them personal days, s as long as nothing was due that day it was ok to use them for any reason.

Lol as long as nothing was due that day.

Company still comes first, technically!

I was working in web development and marketing back then, while you’re kinda right, and there were always “fires” (which were bullshit, because we mostly did clothing brand websites and tv show ads, not really important in the bigger scheme).

We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).

If you were happy that's the important thing, but yes, companies still have a long (ext x 1000) way to go across the board generally.

The work/life culture was better than my preceding professional jobs, but the middle management was terrible, with 3 coming and going in 2 years.

I became a consultant for one more year, and liked that more, but they ultimately got out of that business (Shopify and squarespace ultimately took that market around the same time).
