MODERATORS
You parsed it wrong.
It's "a new trend amongst gen Z" (regular old fashioned paid time off, and MUCH less of it than is the minimum in most other rich countries) that "career professionals" (older businesspeople, presumably bosses and sycophants without exception. Possibly just one person. Possibly that person is the author of the article) call it "micro-retirement to frame it as something new and scary.
