I’d hate to have unlimited PTO because it can mean people try to make a point of taking less than the person at the next desk.
This has a simple fix: have a reasonably high minimum PTO of say 20 or 25 days. That must be a hard minimum as in every employee must take at least that.
Then there is a decent lowest level so if your manager is suddenly the kind of guy that would see PTO as poor performance, then at least no one has to do zero PTO out of fear. When the environment is healthier people can take more PTO, that’s great.
