Well, here in Switzerland is the other way around.
I'm forced to take the vacations (4 to 5 weeks) at most until March of next year.

On top of that, I buy 1 to 2 extra weeks every year and by the end of December, they are all gone.

Back in Portugal, I knew some situations like yours but never as extreme.
That can't be even legal, but I guess then it will be between like that or unemployed. Frown | :(
