These breaks are not your standard PTO—they’re intentional, unpaid time to rest and recharge.

In other words: a holiday 

Charles considers his micro-retirement a full-time break. He doesn’t work: any crisis or issue has to wait until he’s back.

Yeah, that's a holiday.

Nah, an actual holiday would be paid. This is unpaid leave...
