It almost sounds like a perfect job when a company offers 25 days of PTO. Sure, you would have to schedule them two days in advance, but it beats the old "point system" that I am subjected to. I for one, would absolutely love to have 25 PTO days. I tend to have a problem with a babysitter and I am certainly in trouble when there is a school delay. Obviously pros and cons of using PTO policy that offer 25 days off will be present. Some advantages to this policy are: workers are treated as…

California dismantling their fault based divorce system and then implementing the no fault divorce system.
