16 days a year is 1.3 days per month; not exactly a lot. Most companies offer more than 16 days a year in vacation.
Long before Covid I worked at a co-located office that allowed WFH for logistics or “heads down” days. Employees there regularly racked up 5-8 days remote a month. And it was a nice office to work from, all things considered.
> Compared to my old employer that's a ton.
The issue is that after the pandemic the standards have changed. Most of us have spent 1-1.5 years remote now; for those that want to work remote 16 days is now badly substandard.
Personally it’s my belief that if a company is going to remain in the office and offer flexibility, the minimum seems to be 1-2x a week.
