First step is to stop living a lie. Maybe there's someone who prefers "unlimited" PTO, but I think most would rather know the real limits.
See "unlimited" data offered by mobile carriers a decade or two ago. (Is that still going on?)
- timcobb 7mo agoFWIW at this job I don't feel like PTO days are a limitation. The limitation is my ability to plan and execute well, and I appreciate the flexibility of not having to deal w/ counting or thinking in terms of days in that way.
- recursive 7mo agoYeah, that's fair. I have a prescribed quantity of vacation. To be honest, I never think about it either, because I have more than I use. I guess when I leave, I'll get it paid out? Or take a 4 month vacation when I leave? I'd probably announce my intent to do that. In any case, I'm comforted by knowing that there is some quantity. But I guess I'm undercutting my own point here. PTO is probably not that motivating to me either. I guess I don't know.
- timcobb 7mo ago> I guess when I leave, I'll get it paid out? yeah in my opinion this is the big question on whether you're getting screwed by unlimited PTO. But I don't manage other aspects of my finances so tightly, so it's kind of an "eh" for me. > PTO is probably not that motivating to me either. Yep, same here...
