Microsoft employees in the US can take unlimited time off from next week under a new "Discretionary Time Off" policy, The Verge reported, citing an internal memo. The new rules, that come into effect from January 16, also include 10 corporate holidays, leaves for sickness and bereavement. Employees that have unused vacation balance will get a one-time payout in April. # 單字 discretionary 自行決定的 *Judges have *great* discretionary powers.* 法官有很大的自主權。 bereavement 喪失親友 *She has *recently* suffered a bereavement.* 她最近剛失去一位親人。
