I take 4-5 weeks a year. A 2 week vacation/rest mid year with my family and the rest sporadically throughout the year in 3 day increments. The small breaks help my company not feel my loss and therefore not associate me with always being gone but it lets me enjoy 3 and 4 day weekends whenever I want.

Our company has an "Unlimited PTO" plan where you can take 4 weeks, and then after that you need the approval of your manager. I have a great manager, so I would not be asking to take more time if I needed to, but I normally try to stick to the 4 weeks.

I've been trying to take 6-7 weeks per year for the last 3 years I've had unlimited PTO. I'm aiming for 7-8 weeks this year.

Curious to know from the folks who are taking less PTO - is it because your company doesn't seem supportive of PTO or are you having a hard time mentally transitioning from previously set amounts of accrued PTO?
