Ask HN: What is your company's maximum vacation (at one time) policy?

#1
My company (which shall remain nameless for obvious legal reasons) has recently implemented a policy that limits the "maximum amount of vacation time you can take at once" to 2 weeks at a time.

This hasn't affected me (I tend to take vacations shorter than 2 weeks at a time). The policy really seems to disproportionately affect my Indian co-workers -- who save up vacation and tend to take it in 3-4 week increments to visit family overseas.

I started to wonder: Is this a common practice to limit the maximum vacation time that can be taken at once? What is your company's policy on the subject?

I don't know of a set in stone amount, it's not uncommon for people to save up a month to go stay with family in Asia. US based company. The team plans accordingly, I think it's a good idea, though I tend to not take as much time as I should sometimes.
