40 hours of personal time granted every week is great too

Wtf is this? You have 168 personal hours every week. It is not at the decision of your employer.

You misunderstood. What I meant is that for every hour you work, you get an hour of paid time off. So if you work 40 hours one week, you could go the entire next week without showing up to work at all if you wanted to, and still get paid for it.
