If you haven’t had a break from work since August, you’re hurting right now . . .
A poll found the average employee feels like they need a “proper vacation” every 110 days to keep their sanity intact. (Three vacations a year!?)
It doesn’t say how long the break has to be. Just a nice stretch where you’d burn a few vacation days.
It was part of a poll where just 18% said they always use up their paid time off. The average person will leave five extra vacation days on the table this year, even if they won’t roll over to 2025.
Even when we do use our vacation days, we’re not necessarily relaxing. On average, less than 40% of that time is used for rest and relaxation.
The top things we use those days for are: Vacations, personal time at home, doctor’s appointments (I can relate), staycations, family emergencies, running errands, and childcare.
