It&#x27;s impressive how big cultural the gap is between people not taking their full vacation entitlement and people not taking their full salary.<p>I&#x27;ve had people try to hand back vacation days - but I&#x27;ve never had anyone try to hand back salary.<p>Personally I try to take all my vacation because, as a professional, I have an obligation to make sure the company could keep going if I change jobs or get hit by a bus. Doing routine tests for bus factor resiliency is as important as testing your backups restore and your backup power works right :)
