Good point, but to get everyone to agree to make improved vacation a priority, doesn't there need to be some "more-money only" option for the "make as much as you can" crowd that seems to be very prevalent. I always thought more credit for vacation days, and more days as a high priority was an easy kill, but apparently a lot of folks disagree with that.
