We used to do that in my generation, but it was just called getting laid off. 😂

I'm actually retired but I think of it as a macro-vacation.
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.
LoL. The US always takes someone’s idea and makes it bigger 😂 As far as I remember it was a concept to disconnect from work every few months for two weeks, at least.
Different proportions 😉
A radical idea similar to 4 day workweek or, even better, 4 hours workweek.
But, then, a mid management would be redundant so there would be no ladder to climb.
I think corporations would be in trouble if there was no promise of “work hard today and tomorrow you’ll be in position to tell others to work hard”.
I work in educational support on a 10-month contract. I am paid for the built in holidays and I save a little and take the summer off. I think it is a good work/life balance.
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.
