  Typically, people take fewer days off when “unlimited”, as they don’t feel they are owed any particular amount.

    Also, in the US, employers have to pay departing employees for any unused PTO. If the PTO is “unlimited,” there’s (perhaps counterintuitively) nothing to reimburse.

      Wow, I hadn’t even considered this. Here I was jealous.

        Honestly, having had both paid out PTO and unlimited, I’ll take unlimited. It sounds like you’re getting fucked by not getting your PTO paid out, but you also aren’t incentivized to hold onto your PTO on the off chance you get paid out if you leave. I’ve found my mental health to be better now that I’m actively taking my leave instead of rationing it since I can just take it without wondering if I’m going to have to take an unpaid day late in the year.

        You and I have been in very similar positions.

      That’s only true in California. Accrued PTO does not have to be paid out, nor rolled into the next year. Some employers will pay it out but it’s not a law. Except in California.

    Fair! I suppose find myself with sooo much excess vacation time since WFH means I don’t have to take “me” days to recharge like I did when I had to go into a horrible open office every day.
