The Vacation Time Dilemma
Advice Seeker: Dear April,
I haven't taken a vacation since I graduated college and started working two years ago. My longest breaks have been a couple of long weekends. I'm thinking about taking a week off and going away with my girlfriend, but the idea of leaving the office for that long stresses me out, and I'm worried that I would miss a big development in one of my projects while I'm gone, or get passed over for a promotion or something. Have I completely lost it?
Sincerely,
Gimme A Break
April Masini's advice:
Dear Gimme A Break,
Europeans have always understood the importance of vacations as part of life and the balance between work and vacation. Americans have always been primarily ambitious and have put work ahead of the rest of life. Many Japanese industries have integrated personal life into work. And Europeans, for the most part put work behind the rest of life.
