> In our company, "Unlimited Vacation" means two weeks a years.

So, that's significantly less than the minimum you're getting by law in, say, a European country. And it sounds like you have to negotiate (or be perceived as a prodigy) to even get that. Am I missing something here? Because it sounds just awful.

Shhh! Americans are blissfully unaware that everyone in Europe is legally entitled to 2-3x more vacation than Americans get.

25 days of vacation is the biggest thing I miss about working in London :-p

Most people can get the two weeks if they put minimal effort into arranging projects to create an opening. Maybe one in 25 takes 3 weeks. I only know of two people ( in 500) who took a months vacation.
