Sure, take as much vacation time as you want. Really.

  
  
  

Seattle social media firm Social Strata has implemented a new vacation policy:  Take as much vacation time as you want.  Really.

What does this mean for the employees of this small firm?  They can be free to focus on their goals and projects without being slaves to the calendar (that is, unless they are behind on said goals and projects).  They can be accountable without just punching the clock.

What does this mean for management?    Less record keeping?  Maybe, but more likely it's just a stunt to attract the top local talent.   Especially since surveys show that most people don't use all of their vacation time anyway.  Unlimited vacation is a nice thought but reality will continue to dicate the amount of time that we (and they) spend in the office.
