We will still have all legally mandated vacations available for sure (which is definitely limited in the US but still). I don’t see any other way around it. But I assume we will only have the legally mandated minimums in this regard. One possibility I am thinking is If the position they’re applying for allows them to work when most of the company is off (extremely productive IC or product manager for example) then they could flexibly take the sabbatical whenever. As for matching schedules, children already have summers off, sure the spouses might not have the time off but doesn’t mean this can hurt? It’s only on top of standard vacation time.
