I don't even understand how that's legal. If you took 100% of your time off as leave, what recourse would they have to fire you? Presumably this only happens in regions with laws that have few legal protections for employees?

There's a reason you predominantly see this from companies in the US, with at-will employment.

Because if you took 100% of your time off, you wouldn't meet objectives. You'd have zero productivity.
