1. Taking Leave from Work
By Law at every work place employees are deserved for time off. The burnout culture is been pushing many not to take any time off and also Judge others. There are organizations few which give Unlimited vacation or mostly at least 2 weeks of leaves are granted for employee. Even 2 weeks time-off is not taken by many.
Have you ever felt burned out at work after a vacation?
Our vacation systems are completely broken. They don’t work.
By the time we finally turn on our out-of-office messages, we’re beyond stressed, and we know that we’ll have an even bigger pile of work waiting for us when we return. What a nightmare.
For most of us, it’s hard to actually use vacation time to recharge.
What happens in practice with unlimited vacation time? Peer pressure. Social signals that say you’re a slacker if you’re not in the office.
What’s the solution?
Recurring, scheduled mandatory vacation.
Yes, that’s right — an entirely new approach to managing vacation.
TED talk, “The Power of Time Off,” - This is been referred in this episode. Listen.
That is all for this week. See you again.
