The Telegraph: Tech CEO scraps unlimited holiday: ‘Bad employees take too much off’
Ryan Breslow, co-founder of Bolt, has ended the company's unlimited paid vacation policy, citing abuse by lower-performing employees. He argues that this led to burnout among high achievers and unfairness in the workplace.
Bolt will now offer four weeks of mandated paid vacation for all employees, aiming to clarify expectations and promote a healthier work-life balance. Breslow's decision reflects a broader trend among U.S. companies re-evaluating unlimited leave policies.

Forbes: Does Trump Spending Bill Eliminate Social Security Taxes? What To Know
President Trump and the Social Security Administration claimed that a new domestic policy bill will eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits. However, while the bill introduces a tax credit for seniors, it does not directly change the taxation of Social Security benefits and may accelerate the program's insolvency.
The bill offers a tax credit of up to $6,000 for seniors aged 65 and older, based on income, but does not affect younger Social Security recipients. Experts warn that Trump's proposal to eliminate taxes on Social Security could lead to significant revenue losses, hastening the program's financial troubles.
