I took 3 months off paid for parental leave and will have taken about 4 additional weeks this year and it has not hurt my performance reviews or career trajectory at all…

In some places, people may be wrong to worry about taking their unlimited vacation time how they would like to, but they do worry nonetheless.

At other places, more competitive perhaps, they may be right to evaluate that a dip in work output is noticed and nobody is taking into account the time off.

Anyway, without judging why, it appears to be a fact that at some places people take less time off when unlimited vacation policies are brought in.
