« The response to losing our unlimited PTO was, "Oh, we just don't track the PTO for engineers. But no, we refuse to write that de facto policy down anywhere." That did nothing to soothe my lawful-good heart, and the implied inequity of it burned. »

That's an impressive triple-red-flag right there!

- Refusing to write down a policy.
- Lying about not tracking PTO. (Bullshit. They're tracking it one way or another, and there absolutely will be a secret limit.)
- Not having it be universal across job functions.
