> an entirely new approach to managing vacation. New as in "in place for 50 years in France" Either your company closes for August and you have to take vacation, or you are forced to take 2 contiguous weeks in summer. Then they are school vacations you obviously take as well. Planning in a company is done around them. Then there is May, which is full of holes filled in with vacation days. And often compulsory days off between Christmas and new year. It works great, I am relaxed coming back to the office to my 300 emails from my non French colleagues who do not expect me to answer anyway while I am away (I never read my emails while on vacation)
