The insidious thing about “unlimited vacation” is that there’s never a good time to take it because you’re always busy. With minimum vacation balances, you can always play the “I’ll lose it if I don’t take it” card.
No surprise data shows unlimited vacation is used less.

@carnage4life I work at a company with "unlimited vacation", and I've never felt this way, and I take time off that I need to stay healthy without guilt. I have a feeling that places where it's like as you describe are probably dysfunctional. On the other hand, if you are the one applying the pressure and not the company, it's a "me" problem, and you should probably look at fixing that.
