Agreed.

The way I think it should be is:

  • mandatory 25 days of vacation, plus statutory holidays
  • mandatory vacation is subtracted from any performance targets (i.e. it is accounted for in business planning and not offloaded to the employee)
  • vacation beyond that is unlimited, but may impact your performance
  • major anniversary events within the company grant paid leave of absences

To the last point - I don’t recall which company it was - I have seen one where after a certain period of service your granted a 3 or 6 month leave of absence to go do something else. Travel the world, get really deep into Japanese joinery, or build a new version of DNS. I think that’s something that is healthy for humans.
