We value FaceTime a lot.

It's this sort of ingrained belief that if we're not taking all of our vacation days, somehow our bosses are going to see and recognize that we're really dedicated to our jobs.
matched
And sometimes our jobs often make it very difficult to take vacation, a true vacation.
matched
There's evidence to suggest at least it could be resulting in more successful employees.
matched
There's actually a good number of studies that show that people who take more advantage of their vacation days actually are promoted and are more likely to receive raise or promotion than people who take fewer of their vacation days.

You'll see on the Internet there are a lot of hacks around showing how you can extend your limited number of vacation days by tacking them on to either before or after work.

public holidays or bridging a public holiday with a weekend, you can really create, especially in 2024, the way federal holidays are placed.

If you do it just right, if you don't have to share any of those days with other colleagues, you could have up to 50 days of extended break time plotting your vacation days just right.

matched
I can envision a lot of people wanting to take the whole week off or at least half of the week off.

People tend to actually hoard their vacation days.
matched
They wait.
matched
They want to make sure they have some time off at the end of the year, which is understandable given the holiday season.
matched
And they simply wait because the whole year is busy and they want to do it when things are slower, which is usually never.
matched
And then there's a rush at the end of the year to use it or lose it.
matched
The common rule of thumb is that you should take your personal days first, regardless of what kind of day off you're having.
matched
The reason is that should you suddenly be laid off or parting ways with your company for whatever reason, the personal days are not days you can claim as time off that is accrued to you.
