Unlimited PTO sounds like the ultimate workplace perk. No limits. No tracking. Total flexibility. But if you’ve ever worked at a company with unlimited paid time off, you may have noticed something surprising — people often take less time off, not more.

In this episode of The Work Chat, we break down the truth about unlimited PTO — what it really means, why companies offer it, and what employees should understand before assuming it’s the best benefit out there.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why unlimited PTO removes clarity around what time off is “acceptable”• Why employees with unlimited PTO often take fewer vacation days• How company culture matters more than the policy itself• Who unlimited PTO works best for — and who it disadvantages• The psychological pressure created by unclear boundaries• Why leadership behavior sets the real standard for time off• What unlimited PTO signals about trust, expectations, and performance• Practical tips for employees navigating unlimited PTO responsibly

We also discuss why companies adopt unlimited PTO policies in the first place — including administrative simplicity, financial considerations, and employer branding — without framing the issue as good or bad. Because the truth is, unlimited PTO isn’t inherently flawed. It just requires the right leadership, workload management, and cultural norms to work as intended.

If you’re an employee, manager, or leader navigating modern workplace benefits, this episode will help you think more critically about unlimited PTO — beyond the marketing language.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of:
• How to evaluate unlimited PTO at your company• How to set boundaries without guilt• How to model healthy time off if you’re a leader• How to tell whether your workplace genuinely supports rest

At the end of the day, unlimited PTO isn’t about the policy — it’s about the culture behind it. And understanding that difference can protect your well-being, your performance, and your long-term career growth.
