Do employees actually take vacations at companies without a predetermined number of vacation days?

For people who have issues with this, I'd suggest asking your manager or whoever is in charge whether X days of vacation per year would be acceptable. And then track your own vacation days and treat them like you would at any other company.

Manager: "Take as much time as you want, but know that your absence would be highly disruptive to the company."

[killface]

yes, but you also don't get paid out vacation time when you leave, and there's always this social pressure to not take long trips (3 weeks, anyone?)

[ajsharp]

Yes, indeed :)
