    At my work if I don’t book at least 75% of my holiday days by like a month after renewal my boss starts to really moan at me.

    The meme must be an American thing.

      You in Germany? There is some kind of tax thing, so it costs money if people don’t take there holidays in the year itself, so companies are mostly quite keen with you raking all holidays.

        UK. But it’s actually a German company. Everywhere I’ve worked has been pushy about you using your holiday though (managers obviously don’t want it to hit the end of the year and suddenly everyone wants to use it instead of loosing it) but the 75% almost as soon as it renews is the most extreme example I’ve come across.

          I was adressing the “aggresively urging to take your holidays on time”, which is a very German thing and it is so due to local laws. Never heard that about any other country. I am also not American, but turkish (living in Germany).
