Agree how helpful a total break for a week can be. I've always found it odd that the USA only gives two weeks annual holiday (plus public holidays). Someone finding a new job just to get a week off seems really inefficient - it probably takes months for their replacement to be hired an up to speed. Easier to give the current employee time off. Although all my permanent jobs have been in the UK with four or five weeks annual leave plus bank holidays.
