The fact that your coworker does not use her time could be a reflection of the culture of your workplace as well. If places work on skeleton crews, the guilt and catch up associated with time off does not feel very refreshing, so it makes it harder to want to use it. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common occurrence in many workplaces.
I currently have 20 days of PTO a year, and when I hit my 10-year anniversary in July it will up to the max of 25 days. Plus we get 10 paid public holidays when the office is closed, and unlimited sick time “within reason.” This is one of the reasons I’m having a hard time motivating to find a new job...

This is a good point. We are a very small office (4 1/2 people). I don’t know that we could handle more necessarily as far as Work load. I very much encourage her to take her time and enjoy. She just doesn’t want to. I think most of it is that her husband gets less time and she doesn’t take time off unless they do it together.
I’ve seriosuly contemplated unlimited leave i know one would not abuse it but the other would absolutely abuse it.
For those with unlimited pto, how is it regulated? I would assume there has to be some oversight in it?
Well I'm glad I asked - I guess we need to revisit that.
There is another employee who has been here 13 years and has 140 hours and struggles to use them all.
I have a colleague who is almost always in the office--even on university holidays. Just because he chooses not to travel or spend time away from the office should affect the amount of time off I am allotted.
We have a professor who took his sabbatical IN HIS OFFICE. He was working on a project that he could work on anywhere really, but dude leave your sad windowless office and like LIVE.

This colleague of mine apparently took a "sabbatical" years ago but still taught his classes (because he didn't have anything else he wanted to do). He just didn't advise or go to meetings LOL.
