But they specify that unlike PTO, this is an unpaid time off, which can be a break inbetween jobs or a unpaid vacation.
Still fucking ridiculous to call it “micro-retirement”
Soon we will hear how gen z is having nano-retirements every 5 days of work that can include 2 days of no work and often destructive behaviour such as parties and binge watching tv.
You mean my pico-retirement? Sometimes i lay thinking awake before i start it and yes, sometimes I have thought about work during it and yes sometimes I think about what the day holds just after coming out of it - but that’s why you need to have a nano-retiremtent after every four to five pico-reti’s you know.
I also try to stack them if I found myself to occupied with work. I’ll allow myself a pico during a nano for example, instead of raving all night I choose to do some self-care. It’s really about finding the right balance. Please leave a like and subscribe for more meaningful insights.
Don’t be too quick to judge what previous generations referred to as a lunch break, a replenished body can really help keep the workers functioning! ;)

What about those eight hours at night? I mean people hardly even think about work while they are dreaming.

We need to abolish zepto-retirements (thinking about anything that isn’t work while not yet retired)

Literally time theft, off with your head!
It’s bad enough they get your waking life for minimum wage, but now they get your dreams for free.
I once had a dream that Steve Irwin had come in and wanted a tattoo of a budgie. Does that count?
Sounds like a billable hour to me.
Marketplace also covered the trend recently. They described it more as taking a few months to even a year or two off from work unpaid
