> someone like me who regularly half day and full day PTO every quarter

So you take something less than 10 days off a year?

In all developed countries bar one that is against the law for being so few days off.

You are being abused.

No, that is incorrect. See my edit
> I probably take between 20-30 days total annually

Great! Bare minimum legal in most developed countries for a factory worker or shelf stocker!

Ok… but that’s a larger conversation about the US and PTO. I’m not saying it’s some amazing situation that is the envy of the world. With federal holidays I get about 30-40 days off a year. In the US that’s pretty good, unfortunately.

I’m just telling you it’s not less than 10 days and unlimited PTO system works for my needs. Ease off the gas.

Many people are posting in this thread that factually people take less PTO when it’s unlimited.

It is not a good thing
