[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started at a company with “unlimited” FTO.  (I still don’t quite understand the distinction). I’m a consultant and the guidance is maintain a certain percentage of productive billable hours.

In my case, I just recall recent jobs and the amount of PTO I accrued and follow that as a general guideline.  In addition to taking two days off a week after I started (I’d planned a long weekend trip last August), I’m taking Fourth of July week off (four days) and a week off in September (milestone birthday trip to Napa). I will take two weeks off at the holidays.

I know that companies use this tactic to disincentivize people from taking time off and to avoid having to pay it out at termination.  I am still going to take time off.  Life is short.[/quote]

I will add: it’s a small company and we have a shared calendar where you can see everyone’s birthday, work anniversary, and when they’re out of office. People definitely are using the unlimited FTO.[/quote]
