I've typically not been a fan of formal holidays, as being a founder of my own businesses means that I enjoy what I am doing and don't really want to stop (and have not always had the ability to take time away). These days, with children, and my company being larger, I am taking holidays, but still somewhat reluctantly! It is nice to have the option to take holidays, but they don't suit everyone, and I think that you should feel able to say that they just don't suit you much.
FWIW I am male.

- jennymcfly 7y agoThank you for your answer. As an employer, do you think it's justified to use this as an argument to negotiate a raise, knowing that even without it, my work satisfies my employer and that nothing prevents me from taking leave?
- DamonHD 7y agoAre you asking if you can or should trade some holiday for more pay? Within whatever the legal bounds are, if any, I don't see why not. Note that local rules may require some minimum holiday, and some regulated professions (such as banking) may require time fully away from work to make hiding bad things harder!
