Our contractors have paid time off with the rest of us <3
Edit: RIP no flair
Can confirm. Leadership was adamant that our Contractors get the time off with pay too. We want them to be able to relax and take time rather than be stressed out.
You mean like I had to do with a certain other sound designer over the weekend???

External link →the first time ive seen rioters in a thread on reddit in forever. would be nice to see some feedback on other issues that pop up. like loss of tokens from event pass.
this thread is just a circle jerk of them talking about how great riot's pto system is. feels like a hidden #ad tbh
Sometimes Rioters do comment on those threads, but in general you only want to comment on threads related to your subject matter expertise if you're being Professional About It, and engaging with any kind of social media is.. emotionally taxing.
Just because we don't respond, doesn't mean we didn't see! You're seeing lots of comments here because everyone is pretty familiar on Riot's PTO policy.
is there a higher resolution version of this image
honestly of all the images there that arent from the videos
Do you know what happened to this, since Yasuo's new lines never showed on PBE
They should be on PBE soon
Read moreIf anything we have a "please use your PTO" culture. I can't tell you the amount of times my manager, team members, and team lead have said, "Please take off time. Get off Slack. Disconnect."
This makes me wonder, is there a disparity between "work culture" per corporate / management messaging and "work culture" in unspoken practice? Because in another comment you say...
...I think the empathy and compassion for our teammates can definitely impact the amount of time we take off. I know I want to make sure my coworkers don't have to pick up my slack if I'm taking off.
...and I believe that is exactly what the parent comment was referring to by
i wonder if they have a "never use your PTO" work culture. can't imagine why this would be necessary otherwise.
It doesn't really matter what the "please take PTO" messaging from management is, if the prevailing sentime...
I wouldn't say it's a prevailing sentiment. I just think Rioters, overall, really care about one another. I work with some of my best friends, and I'm so grateful for that. But on the flip side it comes with my absolute inability to add to their workload--which they wouldn't view it as, let me make that clear.
It's just a perception thing, I think. "I don't want to take off because I don't want Riot Aryeila (or bananaband1t or Dyquill or whatacoolwitch...) to take on extra workload." But the reality is they wouldn't have to. Things can get pushed back. It's fine. It's just us being concerned for our friends and coworkers and wanting to make sure they can focus 100% on the stuff they're doing.
TL;DR: I don't think it matters. I'm just neurotic and don't want to add any perceived workload to my friends. But the reality is they wouldn't have to pick up the slack from me being out.
Is there a bonus program in place that corresponds to hours worked at all? At companies with unlimited PTO policies there is usually some sort of program in place to incentivize employees not to abuse it. In my experience this ends up encouraging employees not to use PTO at all, however.
My company has unlimited PTO, and definitely encourages employees to take time off, but because employees want a fat bonus they don't take time off.
No, and I don't think that would be healthy, personally. I wouldn't want to work for a place that gave me a bonus to not take personal time to reset and recharge. I'm really glad Riot doesn't do that.
+1 On this! Sometimes during my PTO I would try to sneak back in for something and some people catch me and tell me to get off slack. haha

Read moreI knew i wasant crazy when i thought there was something wrong with jinx ult.
For those that dont know, her current max bonus damage from her ult execute for the last FIVE MONTHS has been 375 (which is the supposed JG monster cap, which has been missing all this time, which is why her ult can now often outdamage smite), basically if you werent ulting ppl above half hp her ult was almost always dealing less damage than intended (specially more as you rank up, at rank 2/3 even against squishies at above 50% it would do less damage than intended).
Which is why it was doing close to no damage to anything remotely tanky, glad thats being fixed, on the other hand i dont think it'll make jinx useable in high elo sadly (she needs bigger changes for that, like a passive rework or reverts of tons of nerfs she got in season 5) hope they have some plans for her though because diamond and above shes just a worse version of aphelios and having a champ that is only good in low elo...
While it wasn't the case 2 years ago, Jinx's ability to win games currently doesn't decrease with MMR. She's certainly weak in pro play, but she wins quite a bit in high mmr (D2+).
That's not the case in my opinion. But I think a lot of Rioters have kind of been like, "What's the point?" with taking PTO during COVID because it's not like we can go anywhere or do anything.
If anything we have a "please use your PTO" culture. I can't tell you the amount of times my manager, team members, and team lead have said, "Please take off time. Get off Slack. Disconnect."

Oh man, yeah I'm hype for that release, too. Sad it won't make your week off, but if I'm honest, my wallet is kinda grateful to have a few things bounced out of August.
I hear you. I personally have been spending way too much on valorant points...
Hey, right on FFXIV patch day. Works out well for me!
Good work Rito, you deserve some time off. Thanks for keeping the game running even through a global pandemic.
I can't wait for FFXIV 5.3, the timing is so awesome.
Read moreI'm not an engineering manager, but I am a tech lead of two teams with roughly ~15 people across them. I frequently advocate for folks to take time off and encourage folks to find healthy ways to disconnect.
I also know folks who's personal value (their own self-evaluation) is tied to their outputs in work and currently live alone in this covid-19 work from home world we're in. For some, taking time off can actually be a negative effect.
As an aside though, I'd say we definitely don't have a "never use your PTO" work culture. As an example of this, our paternity leave is pretty amazing. The policy back in 2018 was only 1 month (still not bad, but not as great as other places). We updated it in 2019, but Riot backdated it to all births that occurred in 2018. I ended up acquiring an extra 2 months of time off.
I'm one of those people that are really bad at disconnecting from my work, because I genuinely love it, and I'm highly engaged. Some of the folks from...

I'm kind of hoping that BG3 drops... Just saw the update. It looks like it won't be happening in August. :(

Karthus was performing very well in mid too, just not as insanely as his other roles.
