What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend (Fast Company)
Gen Z is rethinking retirement—by taking it in mini doses. The rising trend of *micro-retirements* means career professionals are
pressing pause for 1-2 weeks every year to avoid burnout and boost well-being. While it's gaining traction (even among non-Gen Z workers), experts warn these breaks could come with long-term financial and career tradeoffs. Is unplugging worth the risk? Here's what to consider before booking your
