Oh please, then you could just "decide" to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can't tell me that's the case..

If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year

Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can't even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me..

I take very little time off.

It seems that way, yes, so what good does "unlimited vacation" do?

I feel like I’m already off most the time.

Are you a hiring agent or something? What's next, are you going to tell me that your company is like "a family"?

Maybe someone like you would do that but I enjoy working. If I don't have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance. I take plenty of time off.

It allows me to take off as much as I want. With three weeks mandatory and twenty days for holidays, I take another 4 weeks off. How much more time does someone need?

What’s next, are you going to tell me that your company is like “a family”? No, it's a job. We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well. My coworker was out most of the year spending time with his newborn.

Clearly it doesn't, that's the point..

How much more time does someone need?

In my opinion? At least 5-6 weeks a year, but guaranteed and enforced by law. More is a matter of negotiation. No paying it out (unless you resign), no saving it up for next year (apart from a few days), not counting holydays, illness and paternity.

We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well.

I don't get why you keep writing as if you want to hire me.. You don't need to justfy your working conditions to me, if you are happy, good for you.. I'm simply telling you that if it was me, I wouldn't trust shit like "unlimited vacation days"..

No I decide. I plan around my work.

5-6 weeks? If you add what I take off I’m well over that. I’m around 20 holidays. 4 quarter days. Birthday. 3 weeks mandatory. I’m minimum 12 weeks a year.

Have no interest in hiring you. You don’t have the skills or work ethic to work where I work. Look how you’re arguing about something you have no knowledge about. That isn’t the type of person we’d hire.
