This is obviously not true for the majority of jobs. You can&#x27;t work harder to make up for your vacation when the job requires your presence (eg waiter, policeman, etc...).<p>Even for people who <i>could</i> work harder to make up for lost time, I don&#x27;t agree with the assumption that they would. Remember, everyone has that vacation time, and is required to take it. There&#x27;s no need to work harder to make up for it.
