I don’t think it’s that simple. If you’re willing to exploit unlimited PTO then it can be a better deal for the employee, you just have to get over your feelings about taking time off.

- xwdv 5y agoIf you’re meeting your performance goals you won’t get fired. It’s a bluff to get you working more.
- luckylion 5y agoThat'd make you a super star. "Exploiting" it means taking considerable time off -- if you're gone for a third of the year and you're still hitting your goals, you're in the top 5% and companies without unlimited PTO will also get you sweet deals. But that's not what 95% of people are experiencing.
- dbbk 5y agoBingo. I take 6/7 weeks off a year. The key to unlimited PTO is to... use it.
