    That’s the sentiment for “unlimited PTO”. They give it to you, but you know they don’t really mean it.

    Don’t forget that your employer doesn’t give you your legally mandated annual leave, it’s one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).

    In France 5 weeks PTO is the minimum. But depending on where you and with who you work, taking a leave can be seen very differently.

    You can also have more than 5 weeks but it hides overtime work behind that needs to be accounted else the company can be sued for it. So they sell you a nice job with lots of PTO but in fact they don’t appreciate that you may enjoy what they owe you.

    That sucks. I’ve managed at a couple places and the only time I’ve ever had scrutiny on employee PTO is when someone calls out “sick” right before/after a holiday (we know you’re hungover). And that was back in the day when I did retail.

    To the contrary, working at a small non-profit, they wanted us to pressure people to take their PTO so that they’d stay happy.

    This seems completely foreign to me.
    My boss summons me for a one-on-one if it’s getting late in the year and I haven’t taken all my PTO yet.
    If I collect too much of it, or too much overtime, without using it, I can get written up.
    Sometimes it’s not easy either, with 42 days of PTO a year (plus unlimited sick days).
