Pomerol
Unlimited PTO and remote work sound like freedom, but for many people they’ve blurred the line between work and life even further. Employees take fewer days off, feel guilty when they do, and stay “on” even when they’re supposed to be resting. This session takes an honest look at why flexibility often backfires, how unspoken expectations shape behavior, and what leaders can do to create real boundaries that make time off actually feel possible.
