UNLIMITED vacation days: What would you do?

[sansea]

There are:
169 million unused vacation days/year... or 52.4 Billion dollars left behind...

However, some companies (1%) are offering unlimited vacation days--as long as you get your work done.

What would you do, if you had this opportunity?

How would your life change?


I would work like my hair's on fire ... then travel extensively to various parts of the world.

Americans are more concerned about vacation days and salaries than they are about working hard for their employer and turning out an excellent product. Yet we wonder why most of our jobs have been sent overseas.

Well, if people are not using the vacation days they have, I'm not sure how unlimited vacation days would help. It seems employers put so much demand on employees they barely have time to pee, much less go on vacation. Its kind of like saying, you can have all the money want as long as you can put in your pockets, but by the way, you are necked.

As far as traveling extensively, I like it. But then again, you have to be able to finish your work AND you have to make enough money to afford to travel. If your work load takes 60 hours a week and you make 8 dollars an hour, you are more a slave than a free roaming world traveler.

I'm not sure I agree with that characterization. Have you met the French?

What business model supports this idea? Most businesses, mine included, depend on a team of some sort to get things done. If pieces of that machine are not present, work stops completely.

That would be my route, too.

I reckon most people would take unlimited vacation days

I'm retired in my 20s. Life doesn't change THAT much. Granted, I love not going to work!

Most places don't pay out unused days so it's not money left behind either way.


I currently use all 5 weeks of my vacation annually

I'm self employed. What's a vacation day?
