Epic Games Ends Alternate-Friday Vacation Policy, Angering Staff

> "Right now, we are seeing lots of Fridays off for deep work, and lots of people who must work Fridays anyways," Chief Operating Officer Daniel Vogel wrote in an email to staff reviewed by Bloomberg.

I think that's a huge benefit of these non-holiday days off. I don't work at Epic, but at my employer when one of these comes up, half of the time I use it to take the day to work in complete peace. No slack / no email / no webex

It's bliss, and I enjoy it very much. The other half of the time I go out and do something.

The choice is part of the benefit mentally as well.
