Twitter at the speed of parenting
It is 100% this and ALSO people take fewer PTO days if they are unlimited than if they have some specific number they know they can take. It is a grift.https://twitter.com/chadloder/status/1081703710294589441 …

I'm happy that it works out for you personally.
Yeah. For a younger workforce with fewer obligations, it seems like a much worse deal.

I'm not sure what message I'm supposed to take from "this policy that you claim is exploitative is good for me personally".
-
I’m saying that there are some life circumstances where it’s not exploitative, along with some where it is. Nobody is going to give me 6 official weeks of PTO (the actual problem), so this is as close as I can get to being able to do family stuff AND actually take time off.

I think it might be good for you to think about the specific circumstances in your life (your status, the company you work for, etc.) that make this possible for you and whether they are broadly true of workers in general.
-
Please don’t condescend. You’ll note that I did not claim that my example invalidates your criticism of the concept. Just pointing out that it’s not a bad deal for absolutely everyone.
-
I don't see how "I got mine" is a useful critique of capitalism, sorry.
-
Also perhaps you can note that I never claimed that it was a bad deal for absolutely everyone but you felt the need to point that out anyway.

At my company we have a set number of vacation days in addition to being able to take unlimited misc sick (or kid sick) time. I think it works well. It does force me to take the vacation as vacation.
-
This does seem like it might have the advantages of both with fewer of the disadvantages of either.
