Millennial workers are the most likely generation to forfeit time off, even though they earn the least amount of vacation days. Millennials stay at work because they feel more fear and greater guilt about taking time away from the office than any other generation.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

These findings, from Project: Time Off<\/a>\u2019s new report, The Work Martyr\u2019s Cautionary Tale: How the Millennial Experience Will Define America\u2019s Vacation Culture<\/em><\/a>, provide a closer look at who work martyrs are and the negative consequences of their behavior to the individual, business, and broader economy.<\/p>\n

Project Time Off\u2019s research makes clear that work martyrs \u2013 employees who skip vacation to show complete dedication to their job, are worried they will be seen as replaceable, feel guilty for using time off, and believe they alone can do the job \u2013 are overwhelmingly Millennials. In fact, more than four in ten (43%) work martyrs are Millennials, compared to just 29 percent of all workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018entitled Millennial\u2019 narrative is dead wrong when it comes to vacation. As the largest generation in the workforce, one that is now stepping into management, Millennials are developing vacation attitudes that will define and negatively affect America\u2019s work culture,\u201d said Project: Time Off Senior Director and report author Katie Denis. \u201cThe circumstances of the Millennial experience\u2014the Great Recession and its aftershocks, growing student debt, and an always-connected lifestyle\u2014have created a perfect storm for their work martyr behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Millennials are much more insecure about their employment compared to other generations. Compared to Boomers, Millennials are at least twice as likely to find taking time off difficult because they don\u2019t want to lose consideration for a raise or promotion, don\u2019t want others to think they are replaceable, and want to show complete dedication, among other reasons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pressures of American work culture have produced ideal conditions for the rise of the work martyr. Almost half (48%) of Millennials think it is a good thing to be seen as a work martyr by their boss, far outpacing the average (39%) and well ahead of the Boomer generation (32%).More than one-quarter (28%) of Millennials are in management roles already, a number that will rise as Boomers leave the workforce. Nearly half (47%) of Millennial managers said that company pressure prevents them from approving time off requests for their direct reports, compared to just 34 percent of Generation X and 37 percent of Boomers who feel the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are larger implications for the workforce when people don\u2019t take vacation,\u201d Denis added. \u201cTime off is essential to employee productivity, creativity, and overall performance. Businesses need to recognize the power of time off and work toward creating a positive vacation culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
