Micro-retirement

Yep that was my first thought too. Gotta be AI written because it makes zero sense.
How did we get to the point where this is published as something serious?
Can I go live naked in the forest and forage for mushrooms instead? I want to macro-retire.

What if I train AI on your life's data and force the AI you to work 9-5 until the Big Crunch?

1-2 weeks every 12 to 18 months? what is this, time off in Auschwitz?
Wake up, Hustle, and Grind. Ain't no time for time off. You think Elon Musk became a billionaire while chasing tail or doing drugs or spending all his time playing video games?

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.

Estonia. Our 28 days includes weekends though - some countries give you fewer days but weekends aren't counted so it ends up being about the same.
In Germany it's 30 days a year, excluding weekends. So a total of 6 weeks. At least in my field of work.

Well no. Technically the baby mammas, ketamine and path of exile came way after he inherited all the diamond mine money...

afaik this is the case on most of europe.
I South Africa,you must take 10 consecutive days leave per year, and if you haven't done it in 18 months, HR is gonna give you a shit time. Also, most companies offer between 22 and 30 days leave per year.

Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.

Nationalised oil probably helps too

We don't have oil and we have the same in Denmark. I have 7 weeks paid vacation, and of course free healthcare and education, etc.

5 weeks by law in Finland as well

What the fuck is this gaslighting propaganda bullshit? People in the US have been taking vacations for decades; it’s not exclusive to GenZ, nor is it a “new trend”. I call bullshit.

I think it's probably a typo caused by AI and a lack of editing. As i understood it, a micro retirement is taking between several months and a year long sabbatical after 1-2 years of working, which is a bit more interesting than 1-2 weeks. So basically, it's working 1 year and taking a break from work for 1 year (whatever that entails, personal project, travel, possibly doing nothing at all).

Same in France. We don't have oil but we have strikes.

Quiet quitting is just doing your job/acting your wage.
People on the internet love to make dramatic sounding names for normal stuff.
To be fair, "quiet quitting" is a labour action that goes back decades if not centuries. A more common name is "work(ing) to rule".
I remember that term from when my teachers were preparing to strike a long while ago. The fact is, most workers, teachers especially, go beyond the bare minimums that their jobs require. It made a big difference when teachers who used to supervise after-school activities just went home instead. In jobs that are associated with "vocational awe", it's very common for people to do much more than the minimum requirements for their jobs, so when they engage in a "work to rule" campaign, there's a really big difference.

No, it is pretty standard European fare.
