Unlimited PTO? More Like Unlimited Guilt 😅

I joined a new marketing firm in Austin about a year ago, lured in by the promise of "unlimited" PTO. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, here's the twist: my team of four never takes time off. Not even a long weekend! So every time I take a Friday off or plan a real vacation, I feel like the office slacker, even though my work is always done on time. It’s weird—I want to support my teammates and cover for them, but they never actually leave! Meanwhile, colleagues in other departments swap travel stories and laugh about their adventures, while my team just keeps grinding. Is it just me, or does this whole flexible PTO thing actually make it harder to relax? Honestly, I’m feeling stuck and a little isolated. Has anyone else been in this boat? How do you handle the guilt when your team refuses to unplug? I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice! 😬 #WorkplaceCulture #PTOProblems #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
