This "straining the network" is the "unlimited pto" of b2b saas. It's all bullshit. Nebulous and you don't really know what you're getting into until you're too locked in and they squeeze you. Don't do business with companies like this if you can avoid it. It's the Datadog model of we'll charge you whatever and make it extremely complicated for you to understand why you're being billed $x this month.

Word of advice, if you have unlimited PTO and you've never gotten called into a meeting to tell you you're taking too much you're not taking full advantage. It's probably higher than you think. I've gotten to normal onsie-twosie days off plus 8 full weeks before I got called in.

That was a great year.

Do you think "unlimited leave" policies end up acting a bit like insurance models? Some people take a lot, many take a little, so it evens out to less-than-if-we-had-a-set-number-of-days?

I understand unlimited PTO as no lower limit, as in, there is no limit on how few PTO days you can take.

If you have an actual number, the idea is that you must take them, or at least, you get paid extra if you don't.

That's why "unlimited" PTO exists. Defined PTO is a liability on the company's books.
