A tech firm introduced an 'unlimited vacation' policy to improve work-life balance. However, data showed that employees took fewer days off than under the previous policy.

Which of the following, if true, best explains this paradox?

  1. With no defined allowance, employees feared appearing less committed if they took more leave.
  2. Other technology firms adopted similar policies while keeping their existing approval procedures.
  3. Most employees said they preferred the new policy despite using fewer vacation days.
  4. The firm expanded its headcount across several departments during the same period.
  5. The previous policy provided each employee with ten paid vacation days per year.
