Maybe in the US, but in countries with minimum holiday time you get the minimum in your contract (or a bit more) and the employee handbook says you have unlimited. Companies can’t shirk their responsibility here legally by saying they give unlimited vacation.

"Contracted minimum with more at manager's discretion" isn't what people usually mean when they talk about unlimited pto.
Sure, my point is that the way it works in the US does not work in many other places.
Right. Places without unlimited PTO get neither the upsides nor the downsides of unlimited PTO.
