I don't think so, a vacation would be longer than just one to two weeks.

I guess I’ve never been on a vacation. Most I’ve ever had off work in a row is ~1 week and that was both tough to arrange and wiped out my PTO days.

When I had literally months of leave owing I still usually took it around 2 weeks at a time, nothing wrong with that.

Me and my mom split the cost of a weekend at the beach every summer, and this year we had to put it on hold because of money being tight lol. 0 paid days off for anything here. If I don't work i don't get paid. And even the unpaid days off are limited. Feels great to be living in the richest country in the history of the world.

It's to punish/exclude people with chronic illness, i can't see any other reason

I kinda lucked out with my career choice and the time I started. I work for an unspecified airline and bid for a monthly schedule. Average 15-20 days off a month (not consecutively). Not out of the goodness of their corporate hearts of course. Legally I can only work 1000 hours in a year, and 100 hours in a month. The FAA has determined that exceeding those hours is detrimental to one’s mental wellbeing.

Unpaid vacation is fairly simple, just drop/trade shifts till you something that works. Can’t get too into detail about how paid vacation works for opsec reasons since the union bargaining agreements are easily searchable, but I can get about 20 paid days a year. So I get a month off a year with most of it paid.
