The reason: They need people to fire-fight everyday on a 24-7 basis. If they can do without the employee for 6 months, they could do without him forever. So no-pay leave is actually not an option.

my two cents by responding to the question of whether you should take a break from career: if you need a break, take it. reason is because you need it to regain some balance in your emotional and mental health state..
it is not possible to use logic and reason to justify every decision you make. if that is the case, everyone would not need to make choices - just work, earn lots of money until you die. that is the best scenario, right? because you are being a responsible family man or woman.
but we are humans, who have likes and interests beyond the workplace. who sometimes need a break. don't consider the company's interests because when it comes to your life, they only care about their own bottomline and interests. only you value and have an interest in your own life.
consider the other options of having that desired break and weigh out the pros and cons. and go for what feels best for you and your family.
all the best, and good luck!
