Unlimited PTO has developed a reputation as a trap, and not entirely without reason.
Popularized by companies that genuinely cared about work-life balance, the policy was co-opted over the last few years by more cynical employers offering "unlimited" PTO that is, in practice, very limited. Studies showed employees actually took fewer days off on unlimited plans, particularly when expectations were ambiguous, pressure was high, and leaders modeled bad work-life balance. "Unlimited PTO is a scam" became a common refrain on LinkedIn and Reddit.
But there are still plenty of remote companies that actually mean it. Many offered unlimited PTO before it was trendy. Their policies are structured to encourage real time off, and some even enforce minimum PTO requirements.
