Millennials are 'quiet vacationing' rather than asking their boss for PTO
- randycupertino 2y ago> Millennials in particular have found workarounds to play hooky. Nearly 4 in 10 say they’ve taken time off without communicating it to their manager. > Similar shares say they “move their mouse” to show they’re still active on their company’s messaging platforms (like Slack or Microsoft Teams) when they’re not really working, and they’ve scheduled a message to send outside of regular hours to give the impression they’re working overtime. > “There’s a giant workaround culture at play,” Rodney says. While Gen Zers tend to be more vocal about workplaces that shame people for wanting to ask off work, millennials would rather take matters into their own hands but under the radar. > “They will figure out how to get appropriate work-life balance, but it’s happening behind the scenes,” Rodney adds. “It’s not exactly quiet quitting, but more like quiet vacationing.”

Until boards fire the cacophony of retarded morons that make up "leadership" and replace them with innovators, this will continue.
