Unlimited PTO seems like a trap, know anyone that has that benefit? Do they use more than 3-4 weeks anyways?

Already shown that it's a way for the in crowd to take as much time off as they want and everyone else takes less time then they did before because they are afraid of how it's going to look

I think the point is you either have a work ethic or you don’t. You’re either vested in the success of the business or you’re not. Anyone who actually cares about their business/clients wants to go to work for them. I’ve been in both salary and commission firms. When I had “vacation days” it almost seemed like you’re supposed to the X amount of days off. I have haven’t had vacation days in twelve years, so I don’t keep an exact tally, but every year I feel like I don’t take any more or less time than I did when it was being tracked. But I think the only way this works is for people who take pride (and ownership) in their career. If you have an assistant who just “punching the clock” then unlimited PTO sounds like a nightmare (or a dream come true for that person).

I offer unlimited PTO to all of my employees. I had one employee who wouldn’t take vacation so I gave his daughter a week long vacation to Disney World for her family. Daddy had to go. You people are cynical. Geesh.

Wait, I’m not sure I understand.. an employee can take off as many days as they like and they are all paid?!?!

If that’s the case, what happens when an employee leaves the company? They just say they still work there and have a second job? Or if they get disabled, they get paid till age 65?

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.

Here’s a hypothetical:

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
