Is this an individual thing or a generational thing?

There are no set amount of days for vacation, sick days, personal days. You can take however many you want. Company has had this policy since it’s inception 10 years ago, so I assume it works fine, I doubt people take more time than companies with a set policy and maybe even less time as there is no rush to take your time earned before you lose it at end of the year.

But, for instance, say H and I wanted to do a 3 week family trip to some exotic place next summer - S could join us even though he’s just started his job this month. And he couid take another week to go visit his grandmother in Florida later if he wanted.

Most young people don’t have a ton of disposable income to fritter away on vacations constantly so I don’t think it makes a difference to the company’s operations or bottom line.

I also think it prevents people from coming to work when they are sick because they don’t have to save those days for something more serious.
