This is amazing. It would not only avoid burnout but also help with repetitive stress injuries and other problems that need rest. Right now I try to schedule a long three week vacation every year but I'm burnt out for months before it and have pain almost constantly except right after vacation when it's less or even gone. I wish more employers would do this or at least offer more than two or three weeks a year. Instead, I file workers comp cases, work well below my capability because I'm not healthy, and spend an inordinate amount of time looking for and going to doctors and physical therapists. In the end, they'd get a lot more work and better work with this system or one like it but most employers don't even consider it, just like they don't consider the impact of having bad lighting in the office and a lot of other small details that can be fixed cheaply but affect people in major ways.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI also wonder how health costs would change if Americans took more vacation. Since I am in the US with only 3 weeks vacation I am constantly exhausted and the vacation time is simply not enough to recover. If people weren't as exhausted they would most likely be in much better health.
