Unlimited PTO is a negative signal to me honestly, and would put me off a job.

The open-ended nature of “unlimited” makes me think it really means “guilt-based” time off, skewing to less time than I might take if it was included in a contract.

Have only recently started considering employed work again after many years of freelance and contract work and it’s made me really cold on the idea simply because it smells of more of the bullquick I wanted to get away from in the first place.
