Land of the free labor.

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

[-] SGG@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

Yep, companies give "unlimited PTO" because it's a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They'll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

They also don’t have to pay out your unused PTO when they lay you off

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Damn this sucks

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

just put through 365 days of unlimited PTO and watch them change the system

They'll just deny it

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yep, I laughed on the call when company offered it as a good thing then turned down their offer

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago

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).

[-] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I guess it all depends on the incentive structure.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, if it comes out that lots of employees didn't take their PTO, the company gets in legal trouble.
Which means the bosses get in trouble.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I just posted this in a different thread but I had a similar problem, except that my company doesn’t give a shit. Use it or lose it, I don’t get paid for it.

Anyway, had too much so I started taking every Wednesday off. No long time off means I don’t feel like my work stacks up while I’m out, and I get a ton of shit done during the week when everyone else is at work.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

in a lot of places where I live it your boss can make PTO mandatory to use because it you don't use it they will legally owe you overtime, and obviously there usually don't want to.
