Okta CEO Todd McKinnon fought employee burnout by asking for vacation plans

Okta co-founder Todd McKinnon, as CEO of San Francisco’s high-growth software company, which employs 3,500 people and recently completed a $ 6.5 billion acquisition, has a lot to worry about. But these days, it’s rarely related to him as much as an employee’s burnout. The company allows unlimited vacations, but McKinnon knows how difficult it is for people to make innocent plans and stop worrying about product updates and deliverables for days. This is especially true in the bay area. In the Bay Area, 16-hour day and weekend work is often the same.
