Not to be smug or anything, but I have never left any unused vacation time on the table as the rule is “use it or lose it” where I’m at. So I’ll take all 6 weeks every single year, no exception. Usually divided up into 2 times a week, one time 3 weeks and the rest used to bridge public holidays and weekends. All in all it’s something like 45 days away from the office a year, which is just about acceptable.
