The tail is wagging the dog. You claim “unofficial” sabbaticals are problematic because in the US health insurance and pension are tied to your employer. But the problem isn’t the sabbatical, it’s the way things are done in the US. I’m from Australia, I quit my job last year due to burnout. Regardless of whether I choose to return to work or not, I get free public healthcare, private healthcare if I pay for it, and a guaranteed government funded pension once I reach retirement age. The US needs to fix the problem, not the symptom.
