“Unlimited PTO policies are a scam that makes people take less vacation”
Agree
- No set days means guilt about taking any
- Companies don't have to pay out unused vacation
- Ambiguous policies favor workaholics and penalize boundaries
- Workers take fewer days under unlimited systems
Disagree
- Adults should manage their own time off needs
- Flexibility beats arbitrary day counting systems
- Good managers make unlimited PTO work great
- Set days don't prevent toxic no-vacation cultures either
