I think that it's not really the people or the government who keep people from having vacation, but bosses. It seems like so many bosses are old-school-hard-work-no-time-off-vacations-are-evil kind of bosses. They believe that if you are leaving, business or your work will suffer. Once they realize that it doesn't, then maybe things will start to change.

My boss, and many other in my industry, are in the mindset that if you need a day off, take it. If you need a short day, take it. Just make sure your work is done. And amazingly enough, I am more productive for him than any other job I've had.

I love vacation, I haven't had one in a while though, but I love taking vacation, and I don't feel guilty asking for it. I even have a blog about vacations, and beaches, and being a beach bum. People should not feel guilty asking for vacation, if it's in your contract, then it's your right.
