American. I’m one of the lucky few who have unlimited PTO. I’m seriously underpaid though.

Is that really a thing? I've seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works...

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company's trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn't it?

Edit: I'm European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

I've never experienced it but the somewhat obvious trick is that it turns into a race to the bottom, where if you want to outperform your peers (or even meet the expectations of the company), the number of days off you freely decided to take turns into a KPI.

So, people take even less days off when they are made free to take any amount.

It's why in Italy, for example, you can not refuse to go to holiday.
