Since people have been working, they have been looking for a way to get around some of the more uncomfortable parts of the job. For the most part, however, they have given up and just do what they were supposed to do but millennials are taking things to another level.

There is a new practice taking place in work culture and millennials seem to be taking the lead in doing it. They sometimes try to do what they should but it seems as if this generation is taking quiet quitting and adding their own spin to it.

By the way, quiet quitting is what takes place when people who are tired of doing their job do what is necessary just to get by and nothing more. Quite simply, they are only doing what is the very basics of their work.

Quiet vacationing can be considered somewhat similar, although it is different than quite quitting on a number of levels. It has to do with when people feel as if they aren’t getting enough out of their work-life balance and they don’t have any paid time off.

76% of employees in the United States say that they aren’t taking all of their paid time off days with the highest of them being Gen Z and millennials.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they are taking breaks, they just tend to fly under the radar. This may be happening with about 40% of millennials, as they have admitted that they are already taking unofficial time off and not reporting it to their managers.

There are also other ways to do this, such as jiggling the mouse on occasion to make it appear as if you are still working. They are calling it taking unofficial time off.

Of course, there are different levels of doing this with some being very sophisticated and scheduling emails and messages to send out regularly. They may even look as if they are doing overtime.

According to at least one expert in the field, these people will find a way to get around what they have to do. It isn’t quiet quitting, it’s quiet vacationing.

The millennials may do this more than other generations, but it is not specific to their generation. Some of the older millennials may be having children and are in their 40s at this point, so they are looking for an even better way to take a break.

Maybe this is worth looking into after all.
