    I don’t think a place like that exists I think OP’s friend is just lying to them to excuse why they got fired. I’ve never heard of a company with unlimited holidays but then fire somebody for taking them.

      Nah, ey were not fired (yet?) and I also worked there before unlimited vacations became a thing, so I kinda think they may went that way. As was said somewhere around this comment with unlim you can guilt/fear your employees into working more and then not pay them unspent days.

      Edit: clarity

        Where is this? What is the point in guilt in your employees to work in longer hours when you can just contract them to work longer hours perfectly legally?

          I think the benefits to the company of “unlimited time off” are

          • they don’t have to pay out unused time off if the person leaves
          • they don’t have to keep track of it as closely
          • sometimes people take less time off, so they get more working hours out of people
          • it looks good on paper to applicants

          In a third world, not EU or US, surely. The contracts and obligations are treated differently there
