Well, yeah. Everything is easy in a functional workplace. You can even have de facto unlimited PTO while not having it officially.
Official Unlimited PTO is a scam because of how easy it is to abuse in toxic workplaces. It’s a shortcut for saying there’s no minimum and you can take vacation when everything is caught up (nothing is ever caught up).
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoI was lucky enough to work at copy.ai as they were defining their PTO policy and got the CEO to agree to unlimited PTO along with a minimum of 3 weeks.
- falcolas 4y agoThis is the best way to do it. The biggest blocker to folks taking advantage of the unlimited PTO is "my peers aren't doing it", which required PTO circumvents neatly. And forcing people to take PTO (especially in 2+ week chunks) is also a good thing for the company: it helps the company identify and fix single points of failure in their employees skills and knowledge.
