I live in the midwestern United States, and it's really sad. I know people who take pride in never using their vacation days.

Honestly when I run into such a person I think it's a coping mechanism.

Yeah, seems like it. Same with people who brag about only getting a few hours of sleep each night.

Very interesting. I was in the military, which was pretty much a smorgasbord of the US and not once did I ever hear of anyone burning their time off. Every boss I worked for begged us to take all of our time off.
