Congratulations to Microsoft employees on your new four day workweek. Oh, you can't take every Friday off? Why, that would imply that it's not "unlimited" so much as it is "a scam to not have to pay out unused PTO when you depart the company."
scoop: Microsoft employees are getting unlimited time off. Microsoft will no longer require US employees to formally record vacation later this month, and they're getting a payout for any unused days. Details here: theverge.com/2023/1/11/23550…

And also with this model you have to ask manager about every time you take off versus just clicking a box and using days you’ve accrued

In practice, that's how things work before DTO. Most decent managers aren't going to hinder time away as long as your commitments are delivered as promised. Checking the box is more about accountability and administration.
