All millennials, we've been caught.
00:02
A recent study showed that 70% of us workers do not want
00:07
particularly among Gen Z and millennials who don't want to look like
00:10
slackers. So what they're doing is called quiet vacationing.
00:15
So essentially quiet vacationing is like when you take time off without
00:18
notifying your manager, but you're still around,
00:20
you know, moving the mouse every once in a while,
00:23
sending an email every now and then.
00:26
So you're active, right?
00:27
You're online, you're,
00:29
you know, ready to work.
00:32
No, that's so crazy.
00:35
I've never heard of such a thing.
00:39
Why do you say it like that?
00:40
This all sounds so strange.
00:43
Very strange indeed. So apparently 66% of workers want to adopt
00:47
a European style PTO system which mandates longer vacations,
00:51
shorter work weeks and even a full month off of work.
00:54
Why do we feel the guilt to take a vacation and request
00:56
unlimited PTO? Right?
00:59
Our parents even like I feel like always,
01:02
yeah, I know my parents they like especially my dad like
01:05
he does not like taking,
01:06
I mean, he wants to take time off.
01:08
But he doesn't feel comfortable because then he feels like he has
01:11
to come back from vacation.
01:13
A lot of work that piled up while he was on vacation
01:16
He has to tend to or like,
01:18
he's losing out, you know,
01:19
and he gets like anxiety.
01:21
I feel like right before and I think many of us can
01:24
actually relate. But why are we so scared to take unlimited
01:27
PTO? That's a whole new discussion.
01:30
I'm gonna go to a quiet vacation.
01:34
Don't say it. It's not quiet if you tell everybody for
01:40
I'm, I'm putting in my request right now.
