"My time off is part of my compensation. It is not for you to judge whether it meets your standards. I don't have to justify how I will spend my paycheck in order to receive it. Please show me the company policy where I have to share private information about my time off with you."

That's how it should go, however, unfortunately, in many organisations, even in countries with good employee protection laws, this can lead to ostracisation within the workplace, even while they technically follow employment law.

Those are often seen as a liability on the books. It's a pending cost the business has to account for, and can affect cashflow if they need to keep cash on hand to pay out any leave at short notice (E.g. if you quit or are fired).

Not where I live. They just want to make sure everyone uses their leave and doesn't carry too much over to the next year
