I think that's generally true, but at my company (which is a very small startup of about a dozen people) we have unlimited PTO because we just really don't want to bother with tracking it.
- jeromegv 4y agoYeah, that’s a lie people tell themselves. If someone was gone for 2 months, suddenly someone would start counting and tracking. But nobody does because of course, it’s not truly unlimited.
- armadsen 4y agoI have had two separate unlimited PTO jobs where I was gone on an extended vacation for ~2 months and no one batted an eye. The time off was discussed beforehand of course, I didn’t just not show up one day. But I got no complaints from anyone about it, just people asking to see photos from my trip.
