Lately I've seen a lot of 'unlimited' - read as less than your boss takes

In Europe 20 is the legal minimum



Unlimited isn't the worst possible vacation situation, but it can definitely be bad depending largely on your boss.

I took a job with "unlimited vacation" at one company and then AFTER I started my boss "explained" to me that "Unlimited means 4 weeks here." About two months after I started I was moved to a different team new boss. My new boss (same company) had clear deliverables and said, "Unlimited means Unlimited so long as you hit your deliverables." Glad I was moved to a new team.
