I’m going to go against the grain and say I love unlimited PTO. Gone are the days when I’m counting my PTO and I can just take trips or time off whenever I feel

  I see it that way to. I'm sure what people describe is true in some cases but I'm also sure that there's tons of more positive examples. Especially when the employee is, as you said, productive and reasonable. If you get fired for taking 8 weeks vacation then something has gone wrong waaay before that and something about the manager/employee relationship is off.

  Same. I don't have to count days, or worry that I'll need my time later in the year. If I want a day off, even if it's for no real reason, I take the day off.

  Depends if you work for a job that lets you take advantage of it. M$? Fat chance.

  Even if that's the case, it certainly gives them the ability to pull the rug out from under you at any point in time
  • thrashh 4y ago
    Yeah but they can do that a bunch of different ways and to me, it’s a sign to jump ship
    • asddubs 4y ago
      jumping ship is a good solution on an individual level, but protections for workers are a better generalized solution.

  In my experience if I'm on excellent terms with management because I'm a productive and valuable employee, there's never any problem getting time off in either of these paradigms. But with the metered PTO benefit, I generally receive more income in the fullness of time.
