Men at work

Re the May 24 opinion article by Mary Sanchez, Men getting caught in that work/life imbalance: The issue of employers failing to accommodate work/life balance extends beyond family responsibilities.

Unused vacation days are at a 40-year high because of the negative assumptions and biases employees face when they want to enjoy free time they earn and deserve.

You don’t need a Ph.D. in psychology to know that when employees can handle their affairs outside of work guilt-free, whether for leisure or personal business, they are more productive and less likely to quit.
