"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?
