writing an article in which i pretend to never have heard of a vacation and then looking at myself in the mirror and saying "yeah i'm a valuable part of society" because i'm a journalist, ie, one of the stupidest people on the planet
Everyone involved in publishing this should be worked to death in a labor camp.
We should call it a labor-themed wellness retreat.
Nano-retirements involve taking a one to two day break from work every week.
Pico-retirements involve taking a sixteen hour break from work every day.
Femto-retirements involve taking a thirty to sixty minute break for lunch every day.
Atto-retirements involve taking a five minute break from work to use the restroom every few hours.
I need to take a 2.5 hour break from work tomorrow to get some chores sorted out, what is the most appropriate scientific term for this level of retirement?
LOL is this boomers unable to detect irony? Calling a 2 week vacation a "micro retirement" reads like pure irony or satire...
My coworker does this, spends a week taking a bunch of shrooms then another week to adjust back to reality
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the mushrooms?
So, a vacation?
Half a vacation, actually
I like two weeks of vacation. Just enough to lose track of time, and just small enough so you can do multiple per year. With 25 holidays / year I get two smaller vacations and a few days off here and there.
Tell us you aren't American without saying "I'm not American"
I can do that too!
...If and only if I quit my job every year.
I don't think so, a vacation would be longer than just one to two weeks.
are you european because this sounds so european to say
We have 20 days a year here at my non european country
That's the EU minimum. Which is two 2 week vacations per 12 months or one 4 week vacation.
UK gives 28 days which translates to 5.6 weeks paid leave per year.
I get 35 days. And unlimited paid sick days.
And unlimited paid sick days.
That's really fucking good
I’m doing macro retirement (being unemployed for several months straight)
The writer of this and all the grindset merchants should be forced to work in a Japanese black company.
the new crop of adults are doing a perfectly normal thing that we will now frame as bizarrely as possible
the standby of journalism for longer than i've been alive
I do this but it's because I get fired once every 12 to 18 months.
Can't even have a break without a new derogatory capitalist name being coined.
Boomers finally learned the Zoomers are in their 20s and Millennials are in their 40s 
i choose to interpret this as "working conditions suck so much that gen z didn't know vacations already had a name"
also the author needs to be mulched
Get laid off and no one wants to hire you despite the low wages so your employment gap grows long enough that porky decides you are not fit to work following which porky makes posts of accusing you of being lazy and going on a vacation you can't afford while they are on a paid vacation that never ends. 
Are we not supposed to use PTO...?
SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP LET PEOPLE LIVE OUTSIDE OF WORK
Capitalists be like: 
What is uhhh a vacation?
microvacation is when you visit restroom, but don't clock out
That's for people with money. Not for peasants.
Reading this gave me a micro-stroke, going to have to lie down and self-induce a nano-coma before I commit a pico-omnicide on this guy specifically
Microdosing my retirement everynight for 8h so that I make it through the work day
Is the distinction you take the time off but don't go anywhere because you can't afford it? So you don't have the holi, just the day?
So an average of a week and a half every 15 months, roughly 2.4%
My cup runneth over!
The only reason I have Twitter is because every once in a while I see something written that’s so stupid that I have to find the person on Twitter that wrote it so I can verbally abuse them for being so fucking stupid. This is one of those times.
Into the Room for Serious Journalists you go.
I want to punch whoever wrote this so often and so hard that I will need to order gauntlets or something to keep my hands safe. And I want to do it on a paid 'micro retirement'.
Unpaid of course
Hey look, it’s the latest bullshit portmanteau invented by worthless thinkpiece “writers” to describe a concept that already has a normal word for it
Anyone else love to bare-back while planning their micro-retirement after a long day of quiet-quitting?
