"Unlimited Holiday/PTO/Whatever" is a wolf in sheep clothing when you realize the dynamic and psychology of it.Here is a serie of fun facts about paid time off in many parts of europe, and specifically in France where I'm at, that can help you see the issues :One, we have a defined number of days, and in fact everytime you see it mentionned it is in weeks.
