I like this a lot but I think the number can be different depending on the company.

In my company we have “let yourself be nerd sniped” as an core cultural value, I think we’d be closer to 60/30/10 or something like that. But it’s hard to tell for sure because sometimes the 10 blows up into a mad 5 week rabbit hole quest with, often but not always, spectacular results. Would suck if we’d not have those because some boss said 10% fun stuff is the max. I guess it balances out over the year but attaching a number makes it a rule. So on second thought, maybe less explicit can be better?
