I used to hear this but after being at two companies with unlimited vacation, which were even poorly managed, the unlimited vacation was great. It was super easy to say you were going to be out certain days, and it was never an issue. It was great never having to worry about having enough days. Being back at a place with limited vacation feels stifling. It means I gotta weigh stuff like really wanting a Friday or two off to do something but then worrying about having enough vacation saved up or accrued for Christmas or whatever.
In my opinion, the only way to do it “classically” is have employees immediately “accrue” something like 6 weeks vacation every year and prevent very little if no carry over. The only issue with that is the cash on hand requirement problem.
