Are you feeling burned out from work? You are not alone. Millions of Americans resigned from their jobs because of the wave of stress caused by the Pandemic and relentless hustle culture.
Some employers are starting to allow their employees to take long breaks from work in order to face the problems.
The Wall Street Journal reports that some big name companies are giving their employees sabbaticals. Many employers have found that their workers return to the job more excited and productive.
There are certain conditions. For employees who have worked at Goldman for at least 15 years, the bank offers a six-week sabbatical. That doesn't sound like a huge reward for a worker who is loyal.
If you have been with the company for at least five years, Citigroup will give you up to 12 weeks off with 25 percent of your base pay. Not shabby.
Employees who have been with the company for at least four years can receive up to six weeks of fullypaid sabbatical leave from Asana. The company can plan around the missing work if its employees give them three months notice.
Anna Binder, head of people at Asana, told the WSJ that sabbatical plans need to be co-created at least three months in advance.
The director of engineering at Adobe told the WSJ that he has taken three sabbaticals in the last two decades. It is in the best interest of the employers to allow their burned out employees to take a break.
All the work that you are doing needs to be picked up by someone when you are gone. This person is really important and your manager gets to see it.
If you feel burned out, talk to your boss. Next time, they might be able to give you more than a few days off.
The Sabbatical is a power move for the burnout era.
20 years of office work will damage the human body.
