Paid time-off is one of the great luxuries of working a full-time job. You get to keep your weekly pay while vacationing somewhere grand, kicking back and relaxing while your coworkers do the work you left behind.
Without PTO, we’d all probably lose our minds. No human being should be forced to work five days a week for the foreseeable future without some breaks (aside from weekends) in between. The best part about regular PTO? You’re usually given a set amount you’re advised to use for the duration of year.
Unlimited PTO is a bit trickier than that. Though you might be caught off guard by the word “unlimited” as one would, it’s very obvious that many companies with this policy don’t actually mean it. It’s somewhat of a buzzword typically used in start-ups and other small companies, and it’s likely used to trick employees into taking less PTO than they would if they were given a set amount. You know, a psychological prank of sorts. But nothing is funny, and we’re all working our behinds off while execs slack off.
