Seen this before. Vacation time drops because everyone is afraid of being seen as abusive.

Or there is no such thing as “being off work”. You can go on vacation but you are still tethered by phone and laptop.

Never thought of it 'til now, but as a retired blue collar ... I could vacation only one or two weeks paycheck which would probably not harm the company(s) I'd worked for so ..... yeah ... why not ?
Almost EVERY time I dreaded Monday following ... lemmee have at least Tuesday ... or better Wednesday.

Most American workers already use only a fraction of the vacation days they’re offered. So some are concerned they would take even fewer breaks without corporate guidance.
Kickstarter instated a 25-day cap on annual vacation time last month after realizing its unlimited time-off policy confused employees.
Last year, the Tribune Publishing (TPUB) reversed its decision to implement the policy within a week of announcing it, also citing “confusion and concern” among workers.

The catch with the new policy is you won’t accrue unused vacation that you eventually get paid to release. Many companies will pay the dollar equivalent after too much vacation time accrues.

We have this program. It was argued we need it to compete for younger workers. In reality, it simply gets vacation liability off the books and avoids vacation liability accruals because unused vacation days don’t accumulate. The bigger reality is people are afraid to tak time off in this rotten economy.

Correct, often times sick leave and vacation time are unfunded liabilities that investors do not like to see. If the official policy is to not have a defined vacation allocation for each employee, then the company can technically remove that liability from the books.

I was just going to type something like that. You can give all the vacation time in the world. Our culture is not one that will tolerate someone never being at work. We are not Europe. You can take eight weeks vacation. But, your co-workers will hate you and you will get fired.
