"You can take vacation or sick time! It's your time to do with was you like!"

Oh yeah, that sounds like the "unlimited vacation" bs that I've been reading articles about.

That's pretty much what I have. My team have the blended vacay/sick which does not roll over at all. That doesn't mean you get to take big blocks of time to use it up - it means it's on you to plan it out over the year so you don't lose a bunch.

I really only track my team's PTO so that I can remind them to take it every so often and not have a bunch banked at year end. And if they go over (it's 18 days, 23 after three years) I could give a rats ass. They're still taking time over the holidays, as much as can be managed.

I have 4 weeks of vacation and unlimited sick time. The unlimited sick time is still OK for me to take-- I don't think anyone realizes that once you move to salaried, there even is unlimited sick time.

I can roll over up to 4 weeks of vacation, but due to a bad boss 7 years ago, I always have to roll over the max, since I could not take vacation for a whole year, and I have never been able to catch up!

If I had vacation to use up I would be taking a day a week.

I actually took a half day a week for a year just to get it down to the rollover! But it was really difficult to get my work done and I am salaried, so it was kind of moot. I think that when I got promoted I also got another boatload of vacation dumped in there somewhere.

I generally end up with a lot of leftover vacation after working here for 8 years. We can only take a week at a time, so I'm taking quarterly vacations.

Dammit, why are naps considered unprofessional? I could be so much more professional if they let me take a 20 minute nap.

I know! There's even studies that back this up. I guess the important thing is to always appear professional, even if you could be more professional doing something else.

I have an embarrassingly large amount of PTO. To the point where I have trouble using it up. (We're only allowed 5 days of rollover so I generally wind up taking a lot of random 3-day weekends towards the end of the year and then a week in February.)

Sick days we get 6 per year, but we can roll them over indefinitely up to a maximum of 18 days/year, so it's essentially unlimited. The only time I've ever used all my available leave was when I took maternity leave.

It *almost* makes up for the crappy salary and bullshit red tape. Almost.

I genuinely do not know what people did to look busy all the time before the internet.
