Ask HN: Why not give unpaid leaves?

Anecdotally, I've heard companies that tried this (something like 3 months unpaid after 5 years tenure) found that most of the employees who take this end up leaving soon after coming back.

This might also be because the employee stayed longer than they would have to get these 3 months? https://danluu.com/discontinuities/

Those months are unpaid, is there any practical reason why you would wait until they give you 3 unpaid months rather than just quitting at any point?

Nope, I misread unpaid as paid.
