Vacation when needed and managed directly into ones work responsibilities.

IBM has always been a progressive company, and here’s an interesting take on vacation.  Of course this only works with certain kinds of jobs and certain kinds of individuals (at least well motivated, pushing workaholic types), but it’s exactly what my philosophy has been for a long time.  As long as the work is getting done, progress is good, and things aren’t left “undone” it works nicely in today’s busy world.  It also fits into the “GTD paradigm” of Getting Things Done.

“ It’s every worker’s dream: take as much vacation time as you want,
on short notice, and don’t worry about your boss calling you on it. Cut
out early, make it a long weekend, string two weeks together–as you
like. No need to call in sick on a Friday so you can disappear for a
fishing trip. Just go; nobody’s keeping track.”
