I think “unlimited” is a weird term. There are limits, because as an employee, you were hired to do a job. I think the proper term someone used was “untracked” which is more accurate. Internally the benefit is called “vacay your way”, which is really framing it as a very flexible vacation policy… which it truly is. As I posted earlier, it is really what you make of it, and those who do not use it loses it.

"Unlimited" is deceptive advertising in action, plain and simple. Not weird, but a sort of deception that's now de rigeur in the industry. "Unlimited" should really be interpreted as "zero", but "more than zero if management approves". Paid leave, on the other hand, has actual substance.
