On active deals, yes. Other crap, no.

Unfortunately it’s not realistic to have someone jump in on a deal I’ve been working on for a month.

I do as little as possible but as much as needed. The good part is that if things are quiet, we aren’t expected to just clock time. I’ve had plenty of random days where I don’t do much of any work. Granted, vacations are different, as you spent a bunch of money to go somewhere

Working in management consulting, 99% of client requests can wait a few days with no impact, but if a private equity client is working on a live deal, your vacation isn't relevant to the diligence schedule and I do end up working.

This is one of the negatives of "unlimited" PTO.

Absolutely agree. Further to your point if there is something active going on I make it clear that I can be contacted about it to assist or answer questions.

If you are calling me to ask about some bullshite then we are going to have a major problem.
