I might get an offer for a role with unlimited PTO. Is it really a great perk, or does it mean I'll take maybe five days off all year? I don't want to get stuck in the "trap" of feeling pressured not to use it. What's the reality of unlimited PTO?

I've never worked at a company that offered it. The articles I've read make it seem like more of a win for the company than the employees because 1) employees with unlimited PTO take less on average than those with set policies and 2) it eliminates the need for companies to pay out unused PTO at the end of the year. I have seen people in other bowls talk about how they've used it to take ridiculous amounts of vacation days each year - like 7-8 weeks - so it can be a great perk, I think it just depends on the company and manager you work for.

It's still manager approval, so it depends entirely on your manager in my company. But with open PTO, I easily take 6 weeks off a year.

I've had friends relate some miserable stories about unlimited PTO. One of them described it as a constant struggle, every time she asked for time off there was resistance. She said the emotional blackmail involved in taking the time just created too much anxiety. She would have rather had a system where you're entitled to a set number of days and there's less anxiety around it.

Unlimited PTO means “take what you want… if you can find the courage.” Basically, paid time off with a side of guilt.

Have you ever been racially discriminated against in a personal healthcare situation/not at work? While you were ill or in the hospital? Obviously horrible when it happens to anyone but it takes the cake for me when white people in healthcare discriminate about Black people when they don't know they work in the same field and know how they should be treated.

Currently a senior in financial services audit for wealth and asset management. All I hear from higher ups is to not leave before manager because I’ll end up making less or I’ll be behind in my career, etc. Am I being served some strong kool aid? Hoping someone has been in a similar situation and successfully left.

If you had to guess when oncycle will be, what would you say? I’ve heard funds were disappointed by participation rates and quality last time, so I’m curious to see if they can show enough discipline to wait this year.

I love my job and the people I work with, but lately I've been feeling like everyone else has more flexibility in their schedules than I do. How do you find time for yourself when there's so many meetings?
