Having unlimited PTO and coping with absences at work are orthogonal problems.

When you are going on vacation you can pick somebody in your team as the to-go person and communicate that fact to them, to your manager, and add that information to your automated "out of the office" emails.

Peak HN is using an overly smart-sounding word like "orthogonal" instead of the clearly more appropriate "independent"
