Very interesting. I was in the military, which was pretty much a smorgasbord of the US and not once did I ever hear of anyone burning their time off. Every boss I worked for begged us to take all of our time off.
Midwest here and even in places where using leave is encouraged there are always a few who are proud about never taking sick time when they are sick and always acting like taking a vacation is a necessary evil. A lot of people have bought into the idea that people live to work, not work to live.
I live in the midwestern United States, and it’s really sad. I know people who take pride in never using their vacation days.
Honestly when I run into such a person I think it’s a coping mechanism.
Yeah, seems like it. Same with people who brag about only getting a few hours of sleep each night.

It is not as bad as it was a decade ago though.
