		toomuchtodo on June 24, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Workaholism in America Is Hurting the Economy My guess is that its to preserve cash. My current employer gave me 5 weeks/year, little of which I've used, and they're going to have to pay out almost 8 weeks of vacation on my last day next week. At my current rate, its a significant amount of cash. If you're a startup, that can be painful to cough up.

This is why employers should force their employees to take those holidays.
