Micro-retirement

It depends on how much you practice disconnecting. I found that working 4 day weeks allows me disconnect almost immediately every weekend.
Disconnection is not really a vacation issue per-se, it's a work-life balance issue that can't be solved if you spend the overwhelming amount of you waking time working.
Ugh, every time I've tried that, its gone from 4 ten hour days to 5 tens. Once it went from 4 tens to 3 tens and 2 twelves.

The part that gets me is that syntactically and lexically it makes perfect sense, so you actually have to think about it before realizing it's totally worthless. The old signals of quality and care in communication are meaningless.
People with poor critical thinking skills are going to be fucking lost at sea this coming decade. They have no tools to tell what's worth believing anymore.
You mean truthiness?

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.
I can imagine! I cannot guess what it’s like to try to get big projects done when class is in. Just the oppressive amount of bodies. I remember the net going on once in my elementary school. That was chaos. Hearing “When will it be fixed” a thousand times. As someone who depends on IT (my laptop has become a frisbee more than once) thanks for your hard work.

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.
I'm probably going to move out of Austria in a few months and the one thing that'll take a while to get used to is that in most other European countries you 'only' get 13 wages a year instead of the 14 I'm used to.

Yes, that is the same thing as
doing your job/acting your wage
Except "doing your job" doesn't capture that it's a deliberate change in how you perform at your job, and "acting your wage" is a newfangled way of saying the long established term, with its on Wikipedia page, "Work to Rule".

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?
Yeah because hard work will make you a billionaire.

This has got to be fake, or engagement bait, right?
Everytime I read something that makes me frustrated or that sounds ridiculous I assume it's rage bait because it almost aways is.

I just want you to know that got an audible laugh out of me.

I'm actually retired but I think of it as a macro-vacation.

Honestly, as someone who doesn't like in America I feel like this wouldn't surprise me if it was real from there.
Where I live you have minimum 4 weeks annual leave a year...

Crazy people. We get 4 weeks at the start and then 1 extra per year for five years. So total 5 weeks paid holiday. Only work 33 hours a week too. Some companies treat people well, just have to get lucky and find a small one.
Also, yeah I’m not micro retiring.

Can I come over?
You will need to learn the language if you want to stay for longer (like you should). Also, bring your friends and family, it's not easy making new ones.
