In fairness to the article, they're specifically not talking about PTO. They're talking about unpaid leaves of absence.
It doesn't make the term "micro-retirement" any less cringe-worthy, though, as taking unpaid leave is also something that has been done since forever. Normal people just call it "unpaid time off" or, for longer durations, "leaves of absence".
- dexwiz 1y agoSomehow it's even worse if it's unpaid. Sabbaticals and other unpaid leaves are usually a few weeks-months. Two weeks is well within PTO range.
- jerlam 1y agoMaybe these employees are still taking time off even after they've exhausted their PTO allowance? New employees don't get a lot of time off in the US.
