Today's episode of NPR's #economics #podcast "The Indicator" discusses "unlimited vacation" (PTO).

I've worked multiple jobs offering unlimited PTO.
It sounds really nice. But often people take LESS vacation. And the company doesn't have to pay out unused PTO.
The best companies enforce a MINIMUM amount of vacation time each year.
The worst companies say things like "I'll be monitoring to see who uses the most PTO."
