I appreciate that from your vantage point the policy of non-accrual of vacation, and a “do what’s right” policy towards vacation must seem like you are building a cool place to work. Frankly as a grunt i find that very irritating. You are just then left with the feeling that your boss is granting you a great gift by allowing you time off because they are an altruistic good guy. No damn it, i’ll EARN my vacation days, even if they are ridiculously paltry. So long as my pay check says they’re mine, stamped in indelible ink, something that was earned.
