I can appreciate being strategic about when you take time off, but building a culture that is anti-vacation is cruel. Long term burn out and stress is a nightmare from a health perspective and has been linked to cancer and other nasty side effects. @HR Wench – I’ve worked in places like that and they are no fun at all.

I have worked in some companies where employees were actually praised for having accumulated as much vacation time (and not using it) as possible. Totally insane.

Me? I'm in the hole, having used a little too much over the last couple of years. But you won't hear me complaining.
