If its conditional upon approval then it isn’t “unlimited”.

  Something like unmetered or untracked is probably a better term. Of course, it's not literally unlimited. It really does need to come with a top-down culture of taking vacation which a senior former Netflix person told me was the case there. (Though I've also heard it varies by team.) It also isn't great if you want to switch around jobs a lot because you won't get any payout when you leave. Though you do have issues with people taking vacation even in a more traditional system. In a prior job I took some month long vacations and there were some coworkers who were incredulous that "I could do that."

    It's all horse shit. I worked somewhere in the UK where we had "unlimited leave" and someone was fired for taking the piss. All holiday is subject to approval here, whether it's under your allowance or not.
