I would like to see how they handled companies that have "unlimited" PTO.

[–] yogsototh@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

unlimited is a scam, people tend to take fewer days when you tell them it is unlimited comparatively as when they have a fixed number of days. I know, I did the same. Now I take care of consuming my allowed PTO entirely and I take a lot more days off than before.

Living that now. Unlimited PTO sounds great, but the reality is that your days off ARE being tallied, and they WILL be used against you for the purposes of denying raises, lowering bonuses, or withholding promotions. It's up to you to police your own usage of it, because your managers will basically give you all the rope you'd like to hang yourself with.

Is PAID Time Off ever unlimited?

Yeah, it's a real thing at some companies.

You have to guess how much you can get away with?

It becomes a negotiation every time you want to use it. It's terrible unless you're good at haggling over your own wellbeing.
