"Unlimited vacation days" is often a scam, as they add the codicil that the leave must be authorized by a superior, and must not impact productivity. In practice such authorization is rarely provided as productivity is, of course, always impacted by an emplyee absence.

Never cap out your vacation time, folks! That's literally money the company owes you.

So, we've had a few layoffs over the years /knock on wood. I managed to survive them. I asked a friend in HR once how they decide. He looked over my numbers and said my severance would be like 14 months with all my years and vacay. Im too expensive to lay off I guess. /knocks on wood again.

3. "Professional." Unlimited vacation time! Take as much as you want, when you need it! And by that, we mean that peer pressure and American work-a-holism will ensure that you will never take advantage of all that "unlimited" vacation time and will feel guilty every single time you do. And if you happen to start taking a lot of that unlimited vacation time ... well, you're just not a team player, are ya?


Personal note- Professionals are given unlimited vacation time at my office. I often have to specifically and repeatedly tell the younger professionals to take a friggin' vacation already because burnout is real.
