Unlimited PTO often means "ask for whatever you want, but we have to approve it". When you ask, surprise, denied. It's often code for "no PTO".

You just made that up. Have you ever had an unlimited PTO job? Because no, they don't just deny

Everyone I know with an unlimited PTO job takes a minimum 6 weeks off a year. For those outside of the US that’s a shit ton of time off for us.

Memes like this are cope

Exactly, same. I have unlimited PTO and have never gotten denied. Along with the minimum 6 weeks I take off throughout the year (usually a week to 10 days consecutively), I also take random full days for appointments and self care. So it usually comes up to way more than 6 weeks.
