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.

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.

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.
