From my brazilian perspective it's very strange to read this. In Brazil, vacation is mandatory by law. Any employee has 30 days of vacation by year. But the moment the employee goes on vacation and how he does it (30 days straight, 15-15 days, 20-10...) is still discussed previously with the employer.

I'm not judging which one is better, just acknowledging the culture difference.

Swiss here; having 25 days excluding local and national holidays.

It really is a strange sight, this theme popping up all the time on HN, with some author proclaiming "look guys this is a good thing because X,Y,Z", when it's an absolute no-brainer for oneself.

Mind you, 25 days is more or less a norm; the law requires only 20 days.
