We kind of have "unlimited" vacation, but also a number that we are allowed. If we go over that I think the manager would have to get extra approval for it. What you describe is essentially how it has been for me. I do not have a significant other, or family and feel a lot of responsibility to help my team. Though the past couple of years my manager had heavily encouraged me to take vacation. So near the end of the year I would take off every Friday until the end of the year and take off the week between Christmas and New Years. Stuff like that. Be weary of unlimited vacation if you're anything like me.
