No, I think my supervisor would approve as many days as I want as long as I also get all of my work done. There’s always just too much work to do, it seems.
But that’s not your problem. If you cannot handle the work assigned to you, you are overworked and that’s the fault of your employer. I think what millennials and zoomers are doing is just not falling for the bullshit we’ve been living with for so long.
I think this bullshit is more prevalent today than in the past. Companies found more loopholes to go around (for example unlimited vacations[1]), the worker protections aren’t enforced as strictly.
I believe this phenomenon is likely US specific.
[1] unlimited vacations look great on paper, but with them the company no longer needs to track of 2 weeks of vacations, so they no longer need to pay them when you leave the company and not used them and also doesn’t have to force you to use it. The peer pressure makes you unlikely to take more anyway to not look like a slacker.
God, same. But please realise that it’s not your fault if you have more work than can be done. Take the time off to refresh. Both your mental health and your work performance will be the better for it.
I’ve recently got in the habit of scheduling all of my time off for the year in one go. Sure sometimes I regret it, because I’m right in the middle of something when time off comes, but ah well

the beauty of having time off is not having to give a fuck about boss’ problems.
