The all-you-can-eat-no-tracking-but-watch-out-for-the-evil-eye vacation policies scare the bejesus out of me This is how I feel about leave in academia. I can basically take as much leave as I want. But because there's no clear expectation of how much leave to actually take, there's this (totally implied) social pressure to never leave. I kind of would much rather be at a place like this where they say "use your time off" and clearly signal this by either have "use it or lose it" policies or this kind of vacation bonus. Incidentally, in Sweden vacation bonus (semestertillägg) is mandated by labor law. For each vacation day taken, you get something like an extra 1% of your monthly salary.
