AskABoss: “Is it really acceptable to take a ton of days off if you technically get unlimited vacation days, or is there some kind of implied limit?” askamanager explains
I have a friend who started a new job recently. She had been laid off during COVID when her company had to eliminate about half of its staff. Given what she had told me about how she acted at work — routinely leaving early without making up the hours, refusing to ever work late, and generally acting like she was doing the company a favor by being there — I was not surprised that she was one of the people laid off.
And second, is there a better way to broach the topic with my friend? She did not grow up around anyone who worked in a traditional office job, and over the decade we’ve been friends, she has frequently been shocked over basic office etiquette . I don’t say that to be mean or judgmental! I would hate to see her get laid off again or have another professional setback because of this, and I don’t think any of her family members have the relevant experience to think this is odd or set her straight.
Another drawback to unlimited vacation time is that you can’t save up any paid leave — which means that you wouldn’t get the cash payout you might otherwise receive if you left your job with accrued vacation time remaining. In fact, that’s been a major incentive, if not the incentive, for employers to switch to unlimited leave; it can end up saving them significant money in the long run.
