Vacation is important, but it is true it can be a liability when layoffs come around - seen it done ! Seen it taken away, too, ouch !
Me, I took a job that paid $10-15K less than it normally does because I get 4 weeks off + holidays, alternative work arrangement ( I work 4 days x 9h + only 4h from home on friday, it's almost a 3 days week end every week), great medical benefit and since it's in the hotel industry, as many stays as I want in 5 star hotels, practically free! Makes for nice vacations and lots of happy friends.... It's not worth it to all people, it is to me... Live to work vs work to live...
2 weeks is uncivilized ! Some of my friends in europe had 9 weeks off !!! (and their company was just as competitive)
