I don't think a place like that exists I think OP's friend is just lying to them to excuse why they got fired. I've never heard of a company with unlimited holidays but then fire somebody for taking them.
Nah, ey were not fired (yet?) and I also worked there before unlimited vacations became a thing, so I kinda think they may went that way. As was said somewhere around this comment with unlim you can guilt/fear your employees into working more and then not pay them unspent days.
Edit: clarity
Where is this? What is the point in guilt in your employees to work in longer hours when you can just contract them to work longer hours perfectly legally?
