- Billionaire CEOs, like Jensen Huang and Elon Musk, proudly embrace not taking a day off of work. However, not taking PTO may do more harm than good for business, according to Bill Cassidy, CEO of Lactalis U.S. Yogurt (home to brands like Siggi’s and Stonyfield). He tells Fortune he works to live—and encourages his team to take their dream vacations.
Each year, nearly half of U.S. workers forgo their dream vacation—like a trip to Paris or Hawaii—and instead log more hours in the office. The result: more than 700 million unused paid time off (PTO) days, according to a 2019 study.
