Hm. The thing is, tech firms are known for having amorphous and ill defined vacation policies that seem very open in print, but in practice, no one takes it because you're not really allowed to.

So I want to know.

1. What is the average number of weeks per year taken by US employees. This tells the reality apart from the showmanship.

2. Please confirm that by "doesn't accrue" you mean that when you lay someone off, they are not compensated for time not taken off.

3. Please explain why US employees are denied vacation accrual if your intent is truly to have a good vacation policy.
