Yeah, that's awful.

I much prefer a fixed amount of PTO to "unlimited" mostly because the culture of companies that offer unlimited seem to discourage actually taking time off, which can lead to burnout. Obviously every company is different, but I'd much rather have a decent fixed amount of time off vs something where I'd feel guilty for abusing it. I currently get like 3.5 weeks, which is pretty decent for my field, and I'll get a bump to 4.5 weeks in a couple years.
