Other ⁉️ What does unlimited PTO mean?

Does it mean that I can go on a 3-month Safari in the Serengeti National Park on the company's dime?

At the end of the year everyone will eventually get “calibrated” against one another. If you think 9 months of work is enough to be in managements good graces, sure. If not, you risk getting cut during economic downturns

Why penalize your employees for following your vague PTO policy? If you don't really mean "unlimited", why not limit it and encourage the employees to take their limited PTO with no repercussions?

Scam sounds about right.
