Boomers used to get drunk at work btw

I wish violence upon the creator of these words, holy shit

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

Everyone involved in publishing this should be worked to death in a labor camp.

So, a vacation?

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.

SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP LET PEOPLE LIVE OUTSIDE OF WORK

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

What is uhhh a vacation?

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

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

Microdosing my retirement everynight for 8h so that I make it through the work day

Capitalist ideologues trying to erase the very concept of vacation

Into the Room for Serious Journalists you go.

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.

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.

I’m doing macro retirement (being unemployed for several months straight)

Can't even have a break without a new derogatory capitalist name being coined.

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'.

The writer of this and all the grindset merchants should be forced to work in a Japanese black company.

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?

LOL is this boomers unable to detect irony? Calling a 2 week vacation a "micro retirement" reads like pure irony or satire...

It's called a vacation

I do this but it's because I get fired once every 12 to 18 months.

That's a fucking vacation

Are we not supposed to use PTO...?

So an average of a week and a half every 15 months, roughly 2.4%

My cup runneth over!

~~Wall.~~

Actually I choose to believe this was written by AI.

One to two week break every year. Fucking cursed. I barely ever use my time off so now using it is a "micro-retirement"?
