What's your take on Unlimited PTO?. Is it better to have fixed number of PTO?

I think the main advantage of fixed PTO is that people can confidently take a set number, but then what happens when people aren’t even taking those days fully? It seems like the more important issue is having an environment that encourages PTO whether fixed or unlimited.

I agree. Thanks for sharing.

It’s generally a great way for companies to not have to pay out unused vacation time when people leave firms. It’s generally just PR. I know of two people who have it and they take as many days off as I do and I have a fixed amount. Their requests for time off (yes they have to request still) aren’t always approved.

That's true

Many companies are offering unlimited PTO, than I thought

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning?

Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.

Don’t get scammed. I saw an ad for vending machines that dispense hot coffee, from The Caffeine Dream. Sounds like a cool idea, and they offered placement of the machines for a one time fee. but I asked this “Chris Mateli” where. He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.
