It was absolutely intentional.  They never even mention vacations.  And it was too funny not to share.

All news outlets will tend towards The Onion.

You're the second person to surface this exact quote today.

Makes me wonder if FastCompany comes up with lines like this in the hope others will point out their absurdity and share it...or if it was a genuine sentence that ended up taking away from the rest of the article?

Either way, FastCompany is getting those engagement clicks to meet whatever insane monthly quota the mothership is requesting of them.

Nonono you don't understand.  Taking a vacation gets you demoted.  Taking a mini-retirement allows you to create content about it.

It's called a "vacation." The really preposterous thing about this piece is the presumption that Gen Z works that hard to begin with.
