I honestly can’t wrap my head around this no matter how much I read.
In: Economics
I had a job that told me I had “unlimited PTO” and what it actually meant is that it was 100% my responsibility to figure out how to cover my own time off. The position was extremely stressful and my department was constantly understaffed, I was constantly under pressure to trim labor costs. There was literally no one in the company who could cover for me for more than a day or two.
So, yeah, in theory I could take time anytime I wanted the only problem with that is that the entire operation would basically go to crap if I wasn’t there to hold it together, and that would be my fault. “Unlimited PTO” actually meant “No PTO”
