Before unlimited PTO took off, standard in FAANG-like (US) industry was ~12 corp holidays + 15-25 days annual PTO, depending on seniority. I don’t know anyone

I don’t know anyone who takes the high end of that anymore, especially senior/staff folks.
Unlimited PTO takes a liability off the company’s books, and makes every time off request a negotiation.
- steveBK123 5mo ago> Unlimited PTO takes a liability off the company’s books, and makes every time off request a negotiation. This is 100% it.
- Forgeties79 5mo agoYeah exactly. For some of us that is not a problem but for most people it seems to create issues. Company culture also plays a huge factor in that. Grey areas tend to hurt employees the most!
- Forgeties79 5mo agoTo be clear we still get federal holidays. So I net probably 30-40 days a year. Again, the system works for me. But it is also a constant negotiation/workplace culture consideration, so I am not advocating for it writ large. I’m just lucky I work at a company that doesn’t put pressure on people not to utilize their PTO.
