Travel Agent Central (another company I would like to work for) says men were more likely than women to use all their vacation in 2016.\u00a0Millennial women, who despite being more fervent believers in the benefits of time off than their male counterparts, take less time off (44% Millennial women vs. 51% Millennial men) due to an overwhelming amount of reported guilt, fear, and work martyr habits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why vacation days are left on the table:<\/h4>\n

\n
• 26% say taking time off makes them look less dedicated<\/li>\n
• 23% say they don\u2019t want to be seen as replaceable<\/li>\n
• 21% say they would lose out on a raise or promotion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Other reasons include:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Fear of returning to a mountain of worry and work<\/li>\n
  • No one else can do my job<\/li>\n
  • Taking time off is harder as you are promoted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Rewarded for Sacrificing Time Off?<\/h4>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Do those who work more and sacrifice their vacation days get promoted more often and make more money? The numbers don\u2019t reflect the money for martyrdom philosophy.<\/p>\n

    Among those who forfeited vacations, 23% were promoted as compared to the 27% percent of those who rose on the ladder and took vacations. As for fattening the wallet, 84% of those who took vacations received a raise or bonus while 78% of those who forfeited vacations got an increase in greenbacks.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The vacation bottom line:\u00a0Employees who take 10 or fewer days of vacation time are less likely to have received a raise or bonus\u00a0<\/strong>in the last three years than those who took 11 days or more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is\u00a0never too late to take Belinda Carlisle\u2019s advice and exclaim \u201cVacation, all I ever wanted!\u201d By the way, that is me in the 1980\u2019s taking time off to scuba and learning that the sharks in the water who might take a bite out of me were more frightening than the sharks in the boardroom who might take a bite out of my vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
