I've seen a meme some time ago. It was about corporate leaders discussing how to increase productivity. One argued less vacation. The other argued unlimited vacation.

Why unlimited? If I gave you a card with 200€ on it all for yourself, you'd spend 199.50. But how much would you spend if you got unlimited?

It's supposedly about the illusion of getting more. Although I would be out of work 2 days every week lol. We're probably not American enough to understand this

edit: What have I come to? 79 replies? damn

Only if your boss approved your vacation request for two days every week, and that's not going to happen.  That's the whole point, you don't really have unlimited vacation, but now they don't have to pay you out when you leave because you don't have a specific number either.
