>>you can't do use it or lose it. Which is why unlimited was born, because now you never "earn" any so you never "lose" any, and thus can never accrue any eit

  Right. Not that I personally care much for use it or lose it myself. It definitely requires more deliberate planning and potentially taking time at suboptimal times than an accrual/cap system assuming the cap is set at some reasonable level.

    True, but this is an side effect once again of government meddling and it having unintended consequences See the government saw employers with "use it or lose it" policy as "screwing over" the employee, so they ban it believing all companies would just accept they would have to allow accrual of PTO / Vacation time Reality is that is not tenable for most companies and many people (like me) would just rack up years of time because we never take any off (when Possible I just cash out any PTO / Vacation I get, but many company stopped doing that as well) So in response to the government banning employee lost their access to guaranteed number of days, instead how have this "unlimited" which is also an impossibility. IMO "unlimited" is many many times worse than use it or lose it with a guaranteed number of days every year

      Maybe you should take time off. In general, it seems pretty reasonable for companies to cap PTO and encourage people to take time off.
