How is PTO truly unlimited if leaders are notified when people take too much (whatever that means) PTO and will tell employees to not take more PTO? Isn’t that just limited PTO except instead of it being documented it’s just up to whether your leadership thinks you’ve been taking too much PTO and/or if they like you?

Unlimited PTO just means they don’t have to pay you for pto days if they lay you off. Aka a scam. They will control how much pto you take regardless.

I’d much rather earn my PTO hours. It’s just better that way.

Its a scheme for external optics but in reality the firm wins the employees lose. In consulting "high performing environment" they know that most people aren't using all of their vacation anyway and so this way like others have said, they don't have to pay you for the days you don't take when you leave or get laid off. And they also probably expect total vacation time to be less because there is now a guilty sense of taking vacation and if its "too much" rather than viewing it as time you EARNED and are ENTITLED too and use it or lose it.

To be fair, EY stated they wanted to rid us of our sense of entitlement to vacation days. Ya know. That we agreed to when we were hired and all.

It’s also pointless if they are calculating your utilization net of PTO

WLB is overrated. A lot on this platform are asking about WLB and I’m assuming most of them are below 5 YoE who are not ready work hard and learn as much they can early on in their careers.

Instead of focusing on WLB, focus on the culture of the org: how flexible they are with work timings, PTO, and their growth potential within the org.

Thoughts?
