Is the distinction you take the time off but don't go anywhere because you can't afford it? So you don't have the holi, just the day?

The distinction is you don't use PTO, apparently

So any break i ever take cause we don't have PTO. We can take all the time off we want but youre not gonna get paid for it. This means people with rich families take more time off and I work short staffed. One of em who I've been working with 30 hours a week for 4 years now, so we're pals throws me a couple hundo for my birthday so I can take a 5 day weekend. Which is very nice of him. He's a really nice guy

writing an article in which i pretend to never have heard of a vacation and then looking at myself in the mirror and saying "yeah i'm a valuable part of society" because i'm a journalist, ie, one of the stupidest people on the planet

LOL is this boomers unable to detect irony? Calling a 2 week vacation a "micro retirement" reads like pure irony or satire...

My coworker does this, spends a week taking a bunch of shrooms then another week to adjust back to reality

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the mushrooms?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I do this but it's because I get fired once every 12 to 18 months.

Are we not supposed to use PTO...?

The writer of this and all the grindset merchants should be forced to work in a Japanese black company.

So an average of a week and a half every 15 months, roughly 2.4%

My cup runneth over!

I’m doing macro retirement (being unemployed for several months straight)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Beat me to it.

I have been involuntarily retired for so long.

Can't even have a break without a new derogatory capitalist name being coined.

I mean, I'm on the second time traveling after leaving a job - but I'm going for a couple months.

Nano-retirements involve taking a one to two day break from work every week.

Pico-retirements involve taking a sixteen hour break from work every day.

Femto-retirements involve taking a thirty to sixty minute break for lunch every day.

Atto-retirements involve taking a five minute break from work to use the restroom every few hours.
