      The only actual data I've been able to find on how many days they actually take off is anecdata from a single company who said that on average employees take the same number of days off with unlimited vs limited PTO in this non-scientific article (https://www.fastcompany.com/3052926/we-offered-unlimited-vacation-for-one-year-heres-what-we-learned …)

      In this article, which is obviously a propaganda piece designed to sell the concept of unlimited vacation, they basically admit that employees really like the policy even though it confers no actual benefit. Yes, that's how the con works.

      Weird how no one is getting grants to research the actual effects of unlimited PTO on the workers eh?

      I especially like this bit where they admit that it's just propaganda.pic.twitter.com/XpaOZFlUyQ

      I counted once and when you add up all the half days for kid stuff and sick time (for the union of me & kids) and errands I can only do during the day - just THAT stuff is three weeks a year. So unlimited vacation really works out for me 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.
