It could just be me but I think this is what you would call a "vacation."
Give burnout a chance
microaggression
Any "journal" that misuses commas like that should be ignored as an example of anything real people are saying. It's a tabloid.
Micro retirement? It's called holidays in Europe and we get around 1 month of it in total. Americans are so used to their corporate slavery they call it "micro retirement" now. Fucking hell.

I just listened to a news/information show regarding studies done on millennial and GenZ that found 4/10 of this cohort also worked a side gig in order to hedge against layoffs. Often, many of these side gigs are not glam type.. like influencers etc. Many of these jobs are like working in service -- nannys, retail, food service -- stuff that can't be replaced by AI or a remote offshored employee. So this report was on NPR today...
I work in educational support on a 10-month contract. I am paid for the built in holidays and I save a little and take the summer off. I think it is a good work/life balance.
This is like 4x10 hour days or 3x12 hour days to the extreme!!
I also work in education (university level) but the IT side of the house. I’d love to do this but honestly the slow summer is when we get most of our more extensive maintenance done since it’s slow.

New bullshit jargon just dropped.
Vacation or busting your arse at a high paying job like truck driving for miners then quitting and living off the wages?
'Cos i know Millenials who spent their 20's doing that.
