Is the original satire? I know Americans are obsessed with presentism on the job, but even they understand the concept of a vacation?

It's hard to tell. I've worked at places that would definitely fire me for using a week of vacation, and legally in my state vacation isn't a tangible guaranteed thing; it's completely legal to just fire the employee instead if they try to use it without compensation. Practically some jobs don't have time off. You just get fired.
