Going from Unlimited PTO to 15 days of PTO/year (based on my seniority) will suck. Not to mention, the company wants 3 days/week in office while having future plans to go to the full 5 days in the office. Say goodbye to flexibility.

On the bright side, you don't have to worry about retirement because we'll all (most likely) be working until we die.

On the other bright side, we’ll all be retired long before we’re ready to be. But we’ll spend the time looking for that one last job.

It’s a slap in the face. And paltry holiday allowance as well, plus the 401k stuff is a joke

I’m absolutely gutted over this. And that’s coming from someone that’s been at Omnicom for 5 years, it’s still a big change.

Most people at “unlimited” PTO companies are not taking a whole lot more than 15 days

I hated unlimited PTO both as a boss and as an employee. I took fewer days than I did back when I had a ‘target to hit’ because it was use it or lose it. And it was a company benefit, so I wasn’t going to be the jerk that tells my employee they can’t take the days. But I have junior members who would be out of PTO in the new system already and they just started 4 months ago, and I have senior members I’m begging to take some time off. So I’m fine with it going away but the # of days is terrible. I started with 18 days over 2 decades ago.

No the week after Christmas is not given.

Depending on your seniority you can likely negotiate. I negotiated 20 or 25 days (can’t remember) of PTO at Omni in 2023

Does anyone else constantly put off putting their time in as they go and then hate their life at the end of the month? Then once you get caught up, you don’t want to enter more time, and so you fall behind again. It’s a vicious cycle.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
