Given more vacations: Why do you assume that people who work hard already will work even harder? Why do you assume that people who slack at work will work any harder? Remember, people compete with each other, so do companies. They're not trying to hit some predetermined level of yearly productivity. If you give vacations to everybody, they'll actually spend some off time, that's that. This was actually tried. In Russia a full week of vacations was introduced, around the New Year. Did people start working harder? No. Did anything collapse? No.
