A lot of negative sentiment for unlimited PTO here. I had unlimited PTO at one of my previous jobs (Intercom), and my boss was very clear about how much felt like too much, but still encouraged me to take plenty. I took 30 days off one year and nobody batted an eye. It's an overly cynical viewpoint to say that all unlimited PTO policies are bad/meant to fuck over employees, because some management chains really _do_ want people to lead fulfilling lives.

My future company is going to offer unlimited wages..

But obviously it's going to have to be manager approved. And obviously the manager has a budget. And obviously I don't care if the manager screws you because he starts to dislike you. Or because somebody in HR/higher up doesn't like you.

But none of that is my concern - I'm great; I give unlimited wages to workers! Never mind there's no contract with a firm guaranteed figure.

Think of the earning potential!

UNLIMITED!!!*

How would you feel about unlimited with an enforced minimum?
