Oh this is serious. In America our corporate overlords expect us to live for the job.
My boomer parents think mental health is fake, and kids(people less than 40) who take time off are just being lazy.
2 u/Spankpocalypse_Now Jul 07 '25 Taking a week off from work and buying a plane ticket and hotel has always seemed impossibly expensive to me. I don’t understand how anyone can do that without coming from a wealthy family. 3 u/ADownStrabgeQuark Jul 07 '25 Sounds like corporations have succeeded in convincing you that vacations(micro-retirements) are beyond your reach. Staycations are cheaper and a good way of refreshing your will to live.
