IMO, it’s a protection if you want it but it doesn’t hinder your schedule if you don’t. You want the last 10 days of the month off? Won’t get it with mandatory 4 days off. Want every Friday - Sunday off? Won’t get it with mandatory 4 days off. Being able to waive it helps far more people than it hurts. Whatever gets you fired up though...
