While 28 days is at the high end, almost all developed countries (UK, AU, FR, etc.) require employers to provide 4+ weeks per year paid holiday leave.
Bigger companies will even force you to take it once you've accrued a number of hours, as it can be a liability on the books (as unused holidays roll over indefinitely).
The US is an outlier in this regard.
- massysett 10y agoCompared to "unlimited" 28 days is not much at all.
- AstralStorm 10y agoExcept it is not unlimited, but instead undisclosed limit, discretionary. In other words, the contract is lying or you haven't read it. Being fired over taking too much vacation time given the mentioned policy is potentially lawyer fodder.
- pkinsky 10y agoThey'd probably just fire you for 'not being a culture fit' or similar.
- manyxcxi 10y agoExcept unlimited has no real liability and 28 days has a potential value of at least 28 days of someone's salary. From an accounting standpoint it's a big deal.

- squeaky-clean 10y agoIt's unlimited in the same way an "unlimited mobile data" plan with a 10GB soft-cap is.

So if you get burned out because you haven't taken any holiday for the last 3 years, your manager has to be able to say "I made him aware he had holiday left and encouraged him to take it" or something along those lines, otherwise they/the company is also on the hook (possibly).
