You must have worked for some awful companies. Everywhere I've worked the sabbatical was highly encouraged and the people came back refreshed and often got promoted soon afterwards.

Tech employees really do live in the most hilarious bubble. Anyway, at my company (F500), if you take over 30 days unpaid, you need to reapply for your job.

I have never worked for a company that offers sabbaticals and I'm fairly certain I don't even know anyone that works for a company that offers them. I've never met anyone who has mentioned taking one either. AFAIC, they aren't even real.

    Sure the top 100 countries in the world offer them, and the other 50 million companies don't.

      The list I posted is certainly not exhaustive. Many companies offer them for the exact reason I stated above -- so they don't come to rely on a single worker.
