Have you ever worked at a company with unlimited PTO?

Question

If so, how many days did you typically take off each year?

William Gump · Accepted Answer

Yes, I've worked with an unlimited PTO policy and found that I took around the same amount of time off as I did with a traditional policy, averaging about three to four weeks per year. It encouraged a healthier work-life balance without the stress of counting days.

I have, and found that what it means is that any time taken off brings about scorn from coworkers - and worse reactions from higher-ups in the company.

Yes, I've worked with an unlimited PTO policy and found that I took roughly the same amount of days off as I did with a traditional policy, around three to four weeks per year, ensuring I stayed refreshed without impacting team workflows. It's all about self-managing to balance personal well-being with professional responsibilities.

I don't think this works. If you exercise it you will quickly learn that you now sit the children table when you come back. 😅

Answer

I've discovered that this implies that any time off is met with disdain by colleagues and much worse treatment from business executives.
