US - unlimited

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

but is it really unlimited? At my last job, it was "unlimited with manager's approval", which basically means as long as the manager approves you're good to go, no hard limits, but in practice managers wouldn't approve more than 2-4 weeks (10-20 work days) a year, usually.

There are some things that influence the actual time off:

I am bonused on my hours billed, so if I'm off more that 6 weeks in a 6 month period, I won't get my bonus.
I work from home, so I don't take as many days off for being sick because I'm not worried about spreading germs.
I don't like to make out of office plans, so I take PTO between contracts. If I have a lot of work going on, I take less time off.

Unlimited paid time off? That means you are unemployed and rich?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No, my work just doesn't like to track PTO.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's kind of mysterious, can you elaborate? Are you self-employed or a CEO or something like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I am an owner in the business and we have decided that we want to pay for outcomes instead of butts in chairs. I don't care if everyone leaves at noon if the work is done. And I certainly don't want to track it.

Interesting, thanks for your frankness!
