Every second resident of Kirov supports a vacation during burnout

      Anton Orlov, director of the Institute for the Study of Modern Politics, has taken the initiative to provide Russians with additional paid leave for up to seven calendar days in case of emotional burnout. The condition is supposed to be confirmed using special tests in medical institutions.

      The SuperJob service conducted a survey to find out how Kirov residents feel about this idea. 59% of respondents expressed their support. Some consider this measure necessary.: "I'm in favor, although I understand that this is a convenient loophole for quitters," said one of the survey participants.

      23% were against it: they doubt the objectivity of the diagnosis and the very need for a vacation. "And who will work for the burnt out?!" — the respondents comment. "How objective will these tests be?" — others add. Some people are convinced that emotional burnout is not an official diagnosis.18% found it difficult to assess the initiative. In their opinion, employers are unlikely to be interested in introducing such a practice: "No employer is interested in providing such vacations."

      The idea resonated with both men and women. The majority of supporters turned out to be among young people under 35 years of age — 74%. Support for the initiative is significantly lower among respondents aged 35 to 45, at 45%. Some young people are confident that seven days will not be enough to recover: "We need at least 14!"

      More often than others, the idea is supported by high—income citizens - from 100,000 rubles per month: 66% of them advocate a burnout vacation. It also turned out that among those who have experienced a similar condition, 67% of respondents support the proposal. But among those who did not experience emotional burnout, only 28% positively assessed the initiative.
