I'm paranoid enough to think it's bait. it is bait for two reasons [LFAQs-redacted-quote] this is one the other is, studies have shown people with unlimited PTO are far less likely to make use of it at a level that would be commensurate with their peers who actually have tracked PTO. i.e. I have four weeks of PTO a year, but a peer of mine in a different company with unlimited PTO is less likely to actually use all four weeks --- St. Louis Battlehawks (1-1) <cite>TaylorHeinicke posted [p:970929208] in What does ...

Zanglerfish 01/18/23 2:10:16 PM #12:	Its a scam. Most companies wont let you actually use it even if you are meeting their goals, because you can always accomplish more, and the companies that do let you use it it saves them from having to pay you PTO when you leave. When you have vacation time they have to have that money available for you. So it needs to be on the books. Its why companies dont let you bank as much as you want and have a cap. But if its unlimited you never actually accrue any and they cant just say they dont have any on the books. --- Don't look too closely at the Mistletoe on my belt buckle. <cite>Zanglerfish posted [p:970929650] in What does ...

Cleo_II 01/18/23 2:13:35 PM #13:	It has its pros and cons. As others have mentioned, you dont get paid those hours banked if you leave. On the positive side, you dont have to wait to accrue vacation time to take it or worry about how many sick days you have left. I have unlimited PTO at my new company and was able to take last Friday as PTO to do my citizenship interview no problem. At a company with accrued PTO I would have been unpaid for that. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:970929713] in What does ... [t:80316121]...</cite> <quote>It has its pros and cons.
