It is a scam when people don't use it but I like starting a job and being able to take PTO immediately instead of waiting 2 months for a full day. And I also like taking off whenever without checking if I can.
I worked at a company that accrued PTO and only paid it back if you gave a 6 week notice when quitting. We only found out after someone working there 15 years got $0 back after giving 4 week notice (think the company followed the standard 2 week).
So you're not a more noble worker if you never take PTO, the moral is always take it even when you don't need it. At least once a month or 1 full week per quarter.
