Do you have trouble taking your PTO?

Question

I always feel guilty asking even though we have "unlimited" PTO

buddyjumps · Accepted Answer

Don't ask, just say I'm planning on being out on these dates. It's a fake employee benefit if you don't actually use it

To combat this problem, the company could implement it as unlimited pto with a minimum of x days. I.e. employees must take at least x days

You should take it since unlimited PTO is just a way to dodge the laws that mandate they pay out the hours when you leave.

Generalize it, for e.g. I always take two week summer vacation and go out with kids, two weeks Christmas vacation. People will know that you will not be there and it will be easy to ask every year and you can have vacations on set dates every year. You can always take sick days in between.

Always feel guilty, but just do it. Better for the company too long term that you're feeling good.
