You need to renegotiate your time off or find a different employer…
As a related side note: unlimited time off gets a well deserved bad reputation, but there are plenty of real examples. A great indicator that it’s real is a minimum policy.
I like unlimited time off because its available instantly, whereas fixed time off accrues slowly per pay period and I am always chomping off small pieces of it or in the negative.
The people disliking unlimited PTO are too intimidated to take it. Most people have no leverage or need the job, so that's real, for them. I prefer unlimited and I'm never at a company long enough for accruals to add up 3-4 years in.
Well, that's my employer's policy. My manager and director are chill people, and generally don't track pto too closely, but I could easily see another manager being much more 'by the book'
