I am sorry about that.

I was thinking more along the lines of things like comp time and PTO.

I worked once at a place that gave no comp time and the ceo/founder
kept a tally of time employees came in after 8:45. One guy was working
60+ hours a week, but he would take a later train some times (work til
11pm, ugh). The ceo/founder docked the guys PTO. if a company offers 0
comp time and that there was a hard deadline for getting in to the
office at 8:45 or you have it taken out of your PTO and if that
company were to have trouble recruiting people, then maybe they should
care what non-employees think. This is a crazy example.
