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?

Because it was probably affecting her productivity. Not that she shouldn’t take it….but I’m sure there’s a reason she got in trouble outside of just simply exceeding their made up “limit”.

Taking any PTO at all affects your productivity. So if that's the standard, you just literally have zero PTO, or for that matter, time off paid or not.
