I was working at Formation.ai in SF when my wife was diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer. Formation had an "unlimited PTO" policy and didn't even bat an eye at letting me take all the time I needed to care for my wife and family during that extremely difficult time. I still had some responsibilities but they were not time sensitive and rather minimal. The company never asked for any formal count of my time off or anything like that. It was simply "oh my gosh, we are so sorry - you take all the time you need and if there's anything else we can help with just let us know."
I'm very, very thankful that I happened to be working for them when all of this happened - I was very lucky.
