You can take off whenever you want "as long as it's approved" and your current PTO pool goes away and doesn't get paid out and you get no payout of PTO since you technically don't have any stored

 

Unlimited PTO is such a scam.

 

my company doesn't payout any PTO anyway, use it by the end of the calendar year or it's gone forever (minus sick time which accumulates at like, an hour every 2 weeks)

 

so you two have something in common then

 

Yeah when we were told about the plan our VP was straight up like "yeah this is a scam btw"

 

I feel like people who have it actually kind of hate it cause it’s a weird/guilty feeling constantly thinking you’re using too much time? Since our stupid country breeds that mindset.

And then it seems like something management will hold over you if they deem you to use “too much time”

 

Cant wait for him to be someone elses problem

 

my team is on the road 95% of the time so it was a struggle the last month and a half of the year to get everyone to use their PTO

 

I honestly feel like unlimited PTO will work well for my general lifestyle and I'll be able to get away with a lot due to it, but it screws over a lot of people and yeah I also just want to use the PTO I have if I can't ever get a payout so it's good to be prepared for it

 

Yeah, countless studies have come out showing people with unlimited PTO actually end up taking less time. So businesses no longer have to pay out anything, and get a more productive workforce, and you get bupkis unless you're diligent about taking your time off, which they'll end up just holding over your head anyway.

 

I’m salary and when I’ve had to use weekend days to travel for work I don’t get paid out for them nor did my manager just say: “hey take a day next week.” Nope. Instead she said: “OT means oh thanks”

Meanwhile the hourly employees who traveled got to clock IN and be paid for all their weekend travel. That’s 20+ hours in OT

So the second unlimited PTO ever gets implemented can’t wait to use that as my defense. Plus, I’ll be outsourced in a few years anyways

 

yeeahhhh one of the few in the long list of dirty hits vs Bengals

 

unlimited PTO can be a double edged sword bc people don't want to use it for fear of abusing it

not me, I request it whenever and it's always approved

 

how am I gonna use 19 days of PTO

 

Not dirty. We're just betas

 

don’t go into work 19 days and be paid for it

 

never thought of it like this

 

I'm bad at relaxing, I don't like to take time off unless I have a reason to I guess

 

but really I ought to start doing things around the house, running out of excuses to change those lightbulbs ya know

 

i get this. i would feel so dumb burning PTO just to sit at home watching tv. I need to be doing something if im taking time off. you can sit on the couch on the weekends!!!

 

I was getting restless sitting at home with covid lol pathetic

 

I like my company's system. It's basically "Here's an allotment of PTO, but also you work from home and have a 1 year old so just live your life how you need and just get your work done and don't be an asshole"

 

that last part's a dealbreaker

 

Yall at too ingrained in the American work culture. Gimme unlimited PTO and I’m testing my limits. Fuck yeah I’ll take off a Tuesday and watch movies all day.
