Wow. Good insight! I have never viewed vacation this way. I always thought the only reason vacation exists is because companies have to give vacation due to laws and well being of their employee. So when I get some days off, I always feel a bit guilty because the company is losing out something.
- nasmorn 2y agoYou feel guilty that the law doesn’t allow you to give your entire time to a corporation? I can ease your conscience, the law is simply an equilibrium where capitals long term exploitation of labor and the risk of violent revolution are carefully balanced.

Paid vacation is a form of compensation. Every day of your ~30 days of vacation which you do not use, they likely have to pay you out as a full day's worth of wages anyways. Most will prefer you take a month or two each year off, recuperate, and come back refreshed and productive, rather than having to deal with the bookkeeping and tax hassle of paying you extra.
