This exact scenario happened to me two months ago sans cancer and a wife. OP has my sympathy since my situation was not as challenging.
Unlimited PTO is a joke and you will be penalized or fired for exercising the “benefit”
- vnchr 5y agoI’ve never said no to a PTO request on my team since we adopted Unlimited PTO, but now I’m finding out that it’s been abused elsewhere and actually constitutes a red flag. I wonder if our company should revert to traditional PTO so that prospective candidates don’t avoid applying.
- olingern 5y agoUnlimited PTO is widely adopted because companies now know that people statistically take less PTO and the less ethical of those companies would like to exploit that. I would rather work for a company that gives a generous amount so that I can work within the parameters / not feel guilty. It also allows me to put a total value on a offer as well.
- acuozzo 5y ago> so that prospective candidates don’t avoid applying I'm not looking for a job at the moment, but FWIW, I would have to be under duress to take a job with "unlimited" PTO.
