"Unlimited PTO" is discretionary in practice, and there are studies showing that it translates to less PTO on average, which is exactly why companies do it.

And I mentioned on average people take 20-25 days a year and managers are dinged if their reports don’t take at least 15 days a year.

I don’t care what the “average” is. I plan on taking 30 days this year.

Your last sentence reads a bit like "I don't care about statistics, I prefer my anecdote".

Okay.

First link -16 days for unlimited PTO vs 14 days without
