Toxic manager DENIED all my "unlimited" PTO

When I worked in corporate, I had an extremely toxic manager that would never approve my PTO time, even though it was unlimited. And I promised myself I would never let that happen again. So this summer, I partnered with Firefox to plan my dream Eurosummer workation and I worked remotely in 5 cities in 3 weeks. And I'm not going to pretend that it was all aesthetic cafe moments. I was working in ferries, on trains, and in caves with extremely questionable Wi-Fi, handling real business on public networks the entire time. And as a data person, logging into public networks with no protection can instantly bring back all that corporate anxiety and instantly ruin any peace of mind of a vacation. So I use Firefox because they have a free VPN on desktop that conceals your IP and your location on public networks. And it's right in your browser, so you don't need any apps or subscriptions. And right now, it's the only major browser offering this completely for free. Firefox's VPN is my favorite to use when working remotely. Whether you work in corporate or you're an entrepreneur, try it out next time you're on a public network.
