Yeah the incredulous looks I get when I turn down gigs at "unlimited" PTO positions are just wild. Like what did you expect to happen? We're not stupid.

- Sohcahtoa82 4y ago"Unlimited" gets a bad rap. At the place I'm at right now, we have an unlimited policy and I've got 25 days of PTO planned over the course of the year that's all been approved. But yeah...I do know not every place is that good about it.
- ikiris 4y agoIts just corpspeak for "we don't want to commit to you getting time off or a possible slight payout"
- bumby 4y agoI believe there's studies showing that unlimited PTO policies actually result in people taking less time off, especially in competitive environments. The theory is people don't want to be viewed as "the guy" who takes more time off than anyone else. I'm not sure that's a good thing. There's less of that pressure when it's earned PTO.
