    gen-z professionals called “micro-retirement”

    Why do these gen-z always love to come out with their own term. It’s more like term-z now.

      You parsed it wrong.

      It’s “a new trend amongst gen Z” (regular old fashioned paid time off, and MUCH less of it than is the minimum in most other rich countries) that “career professionals” (older businesspeople, presumably bosses and sycophants without exception. Possibly just one person. Possibly that person is the author of the article) call it "micro-retirement to frame it as something new and scary.

      Id imagine someone said it as a joke While lamenting that their company’s PTO/vacation policies are bullshit, and then some yo-yo overheard it and decided to send it as an article. Gen-z are an interesting breed, sure, but this is over the top.
