I work at a company that does unlimited PTO as well. I think the best way to go about it is take off two/three large breaks (2weeks+) throughout the year and then many small breaks scattered (2days). Good managers will not mind as long as you’re completing your work.
- BillyGoatGates 7y agoI would love to know the name of your company that allows employees to take three 2-week breaks during the year, as well as "many" 2-day breaks scattered throughout the year. So what, this company lets you take 2 months worth of vacation days? Sign me up!
- finnthehuman 7y ago>as long as you’re completing your work "completing" work is as wishy-washy of a term as "unlimited" PTO. I've been on a project for 5 years, and it's still not done. Is any forward progress "completion"? How much forward progress is worth how many days of vacation? Is my work "complete" whenever it's released to users? Or never "complete" because the backlog has never been paid down? Is "complete" a function of how much I get done relative to how much was expected of me in a given time period; making my unspoken limit subject to the accuracy of schedule estimation and how aggressively management schedules? Is my work "complete" only when we have breathing room in the schedule and it's a convenient time to take vacation? Does my unlimited PTO stop in the middle of a 2 week vacation as soon as there is a sufficiently big fire?
- caseyf7 7y agoThis is good advice. Execs usually don’t notice until people are gone more than two weeks.
