> In 2007, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking initiated a program to allow employees to go home up to three hours early to care for children or elderly relatives. After two years, only 34 of the company’s 7,000 employees had signed up for the program.

After two years, only 34 people were willing to be officially identified as people who go home early.

Unlimited vacation is an accounting trick. If a company is acquired, promised yet unclaimed vacation is a liability reducing valuation. Unlimited vacation means the company has not promised a set amount for the year and thus is not liable for it, paradoxically.
