It’s a trap - they now don’t have to pay out PTO when people leave.
Or are laid off.
I had it at my last agency and I honestly miss it. I really enjoyed taking random Fridays or Mondays off to do a long weekend trip/have someone visit. There was a lot of freedom in not feeling like you had to conserve days or be really picky about using them.
I don't have nearly that many days off at my current agency. And personally I liked never having to bother keeping track of my balance. If I wanted to take time, I asked for it, and I had it off. It was a system that worked for me.
I have it at my company and I’m convinced some consulting bros years ago created this and are still high-fiving each other. On the front end, you take less days overall because you’re not “losing” anything at the end of the year and there’s nothing to strive towards. On the back end, company doesn’t need to pay out accrued PTO. Its a win-win for the company.
When I had PTO no one ever took because they felt guilty it it’s a total trap
I like it. Just talk to your supervisor and team and make it happen. It’s not the “trap” everyone says it is.
Agree. I’ve always had good experiences with it.
It depends on how your manager allows it but I think overall people take the same amount or less days off with unlimited PTO. No one is going to take three straight weeks off, you still need approval. However, some managers that are more relaxed, allow Fridays to be WFH (pre-covid days) and approve more”one-off” days here and there, assuming you’re not in the middle of a major project or busy season.
Remember you need to get approval. Not everyone gets to even put in that request for 2 weeks off per quarter and a lot gets their time off truncated. The average for the team I was in: you get two weeks off and maybe another few days here and there and that is it (with exception of sick days and emergencies). These are the ones who take “the most days off” per year. Hence, ymmv and reason for high turnover.
I still think you’re lucky.
