The corporate sector has witnessed a slew of trending phrases like "quiet quitting," "rage applying," and "great resignation" in the last few years.

Quiet vacationing is a new trend where employees are taking time off without formally telling their boss to go on a trip, completely disconnecting from work.

Contrary to expectations, this trend isn't Gen Z's doing. A Harris Poll reveals 40% of millennials admit to secretly taking time off without informing their managers.

This trend isn't rebellious; it's driven by millennials' heavy work pressures, which have often prevented them from fully utilizing their paid time off.

The results are clear: while secret time off can aid recovery, it may lead to burnout upon return and strain relationships with overburdened coworkers.
