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).

I guess it all depends on the incentive structure.

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.

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.
