That’s the sentiment for “unlimited PTO”. They give it to you, but you know they don’t really mean it.

Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

They also don’t have to pay out your unused PTO when they lay you off

Don’t forget that your employer doesn’t give you your legally mandated annual leave, it’s one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).

In France 5 weeks PTO is the minimum. But depending on where you and with who you work, taking a leave can be seen very differently.

You can also have more than 5 weeks but it hides overtime work behind that needs to be accounted else the company can be sued for it. So they sell you a nice job with lots of PTO but in fact they don’t appreciate that you may enjoy what they owe you.

This seems completely foreign to me.
My boss summons me for a one-on-one if it’s getting late in the year and I haven’t taken all my PTO yet.
If I collect too much of it, or too much overtime, without using it, I can get written up.
Sometimes it’s not easy either, with 42 days of PTO a year (plus unlimited sick days).

I guess it all depends on the incentive structure.

Yes, if it comes out that lots of employees didn’t take their PTO, the company gets in legal trouble.
Which means the bosses get in trouble.

I just posted this in a different thread but I had a similar problem, except that my company doesn’t give a shit. Use it or lose it, I don’t get paid for it.

Anyway, had too much so I started taking every Wednesday off. No long time off means I don’t feel like my work stacks up while I’m out, and I get a ton of shit done during the week when everyone else is at work.
