There is a Canadian company that posts on tik tok that has unlimited time off but has a 3 week minimum on it.. Which is actually pretty cool. They actually want to give their staff the time they need.

Most unlimited pto scams are just designed to screw employees.

They might *have* to give that 3 weeks by law, but it really depends on the province and the amount of time you have worked at that company. (2 weeks is the minimum across the country, but places like Saskatchewan starts at 3weeks)

That's fair.. I still forget that Canada/provences actually have some guarantees for employment standards..

I think the company is Ontario which has a minimum 2 weeks after 1 year and 3 weeks after 5 years..

And while that's better than most parts of the US 3 weeks off a year is still complete bullshit. If you add in holidays that's like maybe 8% of the year you're not working. 92% of the time you're stuck doing some bullshit you don't even care about because otherwise you'll die.
