    A long time ago at a startup, we had a generous vacation time that had no carry over limit. Most of us didn’t take the full PTO allotment. The morons that the VC people wanted to change the policy to have carry over limits.

    I’d send an email about this time every year to ask if they were going to limit carry over. Because I need to know when in October I have stop working for the year. Most of the founders had similar PTO accrued.

    After about 3 years, they finally did it. I had to take 3 separate 4 week vacations in order to finish the year at my max carry over.

      My father did similar his last year. He basically worked two days a week and took three days vacation for an entire year or so.
