"Unlimited PTO also discourages using PTO because nobody wants to be seen as the person taking the most vacation"

This fallacy needs to die. When I was at GE everyone in my blast radius took at least 1 month per year. Many took much more than that. There was no stigma.

It's not a fallacy. It's true, and obviously true.

It may not be true everywhere, but every company I've worked in that had "unlimited" PTO had far fewer vacation days taken than companies with a limited allocation of days.

I recall reading that, statistically, you are correct.
