Reply to comment by SmilingForStrangers in LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731

take advantage of the unlimited pto.

data shows most workers who have “unlimited pto” end up using less of it than those who don’t.

also “unlimited pto” is a way for the company not to pay you out anything if you leave or if they let you go.

so take advantage of it. use it. 👍🏻

100%. I’ve already used about 60/70 hours this year and my boss has been getting on me about not using it enough.

I think they are really trying to eliminate burnout. I can see it being used nefariously, but I think they just actually want us to be happy, as opposed to the theme park that I came from, which has a more “hire an 18 year old when this person burns out” mentality
