DWT Days

If I ever do have my own company again, and if I employ people within it, then I intend to have a policy of having something like five days per year for each employee that are simply called DWT Days. DWT stands for “Don’t Want To”. Say it in a childish and petulant way, and you’ll get the idea. It’s for days where you just don’t want to. Dont Want To get up, Don’t Want To go to work, Don’t Want To deal with people, all that kind of thing.
The only perceptible problem I can come up with for it is that on weeks like this one, five DWT days just simply isn’t enough…
Yeah, but you’d probably then offer them 5 days fewer of actual paid holiday, because you’d be a manager, and managers are like that.
Also known as duvet days in the states I think… free days you can use instead of holidays… I think 2 or 3 a year or something…
