I’ve never said no to a PTO request on my team since we adopted Unlimited PTO, but now I’m finding out that it’s been abused elsewhere and actually constitutes a red flag. I wonder if our company should revert to traditional PTO so that prospective candidates don’t avoid applying.
Unlimited PTO is widely adopted because companies now know that people statistically take less PTO and the less ethical of those companies would like to exploit that.
I would rather work for a company that gives a generous amount so that I can work within the parameters / not feel guilty. It also allows me to put a total value on a offer as well.
