To someone not in tech, unlimited PTO sounds like "Wow, that's great, I can take 7 weeks off of work without consequences every year if I felt like it".
In reality: You're judged by what you produce. So, if you take off those 3-4 extra weeks that you might've not otherwise done... you're theoretically 3-4 weeks behind someone else who did not. Then if throw stack ranking into the mix [officially, or via some forced rating distribution], you may be trading for a lower rating for extra vacation.

- deadmutex 4y agoI think the fear is that employees will think: > If you don't produce [more than the other guy that is taking less vacation], you're simply going to get fired. Things are pretty relative in the corpo world. I think a lot of companies try to be fair, but that is very difficult to achieve.
