My company has unlimited PTO so I don't have to worry about whether I have enough time accrued for any leave I need or any to take.

This is awesome! Where do you work?[/quote]

At a tech start-up. It really is awesome because I've never had to worry whether I have enough time accrued so I can take my kids to the doctor when they're sick or work from home when it snows. And I don't have to worry that I'm eating up vacation time by doing either of those. So long as I get my work done I'm all good for any time off I need. Between company holidays and PTO I probably take off at least 6 weeks a year altogether. Maybe more - I don't know bc I don't track it. [/quote]

I have heard the real motivation is the accounting trick of not having to carry vacation days on the books or pay out when you leave.  Six weeks including holidays seems about average; I doubt you could Succeed at job if you really took 4 months of or something. But u can't build the vacation day bank for exit payday. [/quote]

I went back and checked and it looks like with all the half days I had to take here and there to deal w my kids plus vacations plus company holidays I was well into 8+ weeks of time off. I'm totally ok with not getting paid out time accrued so that I never have to worry about where my PTO balance stands. And no ones taking 4 months off (2 weeks seems to be the norm w a couple 3 weekers) but does any company offer that? [/quote]
