I worked at Apple in the 80's. We got a sabbatical back then - 5 weeks after 5 years. I saved a bunch of vacation and took off during the Thankgiving -> Christmas season for 3 months. I was afraid that when I returned I'd be totally swamped trying to catchup at work. Guess what - during the 3 months absolutely nothing changed.
