Unlimited time off just means no guaranteed time off. It discounts the benefits provided because it's bullshit. All time off is at the discretion of the employer so literally it's bullshit. But figuratively or symbolically it's also bullshit. Say I want to take 5 weeks off a year. It's hardly unusual or a massive amount. I bet most companies with unlimited time off would not let me. It's a ploy to hire people who are too naive to know any better. So yeah, anyone who understands this scam would say that unlimited time off is a net negative for benefits. Absolutely.
