Wow, 1000 hours of PTO sounds amazing...

I've got friends who have unlimited PTO and the reviews are not great. It's ostensibly unlimited, but you have to get it approved, and that's not always so easy. Even if it's approved, you're made to feel like you're cheating the system or something. I think it's better to just know how many days you're entitled to and not have a vague promise of "unlimited."

That makes sense. Have you ever known of anyone to abuse it and constantly take days off, with or without said approval?

Seems like the system was made to screw the pto taker over…. What reasons would it get denied?

I think it depends on your manager and co we all do a good job of ensuring people have the opportunity to take it.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

What should he do? Any suggestions?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
