    I finally have a job that has good benefits, after only having contract work and unpaid internships in the past. I have unlimited pto and unlimited sick days.

    I am too scared to use them because I don’t want to accidentally use too much.

      Yeah it’s funny, a lot of companies are switching to “unlimited PTO” because studies show the average employee ends up using less.

        I co-owned and worked at a small business and we tried unlimited PTO.

        We had to add a two-week minimum clause because some people weren’t even taking that.

        As an employee, I came to prefer a fixed amount that expired because it felt like it should all be used.

        With unlimited, it seems some people who felt guilty or loyal or “busy” would take less while others who felt entitled would take more.

        Many people use as many as you give them. If you don’t give them a number, they only use what they need.
