According to a survey from Papers Owl, 95% of respondents aged 18 to 34 said that such 'rule-bending' is fine, with many participants admitting they were guilty of at least one method. This includes various forms of cheating, like clocking out early or calling in sick, driven not by laziness but by factors like burnout and lack of sufficient paid time off.
The survey authors argued that it isn't Gen Z 'just being lazy,' revealing that the main reasons behind 'quiet vacationing' include burnout and limited paid time off or not being able or approved to take time off.
More than half of the 2,000 Americans surveyed also said they 'quiet vacationed' - taking a trip under the guise of working remotely - at least once in the last year, with 12% stating they've done it more than once.
According to the poll, 36% of workers were guilty of the workplace hack 'coffee badging,' admitting they have used the method 10 or more times over the past 12 months. Reasons include wanting more flexibility and feeling unproductive in the office.
