Some Younger Workers Aren’t Using Their PTO, but They are “Quiet Vacationing,” Poll Finds

Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics, quoted by Marketplace.

A new Harris poll suggests that A new survey on office culture by the Harris Poll found that workers aren’t taking full advantage of time off, but are still finding time to relax.

Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics says taking PTO shouldn’t just be policy, but should be part of company culture.

She says many workers are making a rationalization: “If I’m going to be overworked and working beyond regular hours and on weekends, and then I can take my paid time off, then at a minimum, I’m going to have some flexibility in my day where I’m deciding when I’m working and the nature of the work."
