If there is a problem in society that needs to be addressed and talked about more often, it is workaholism. Many professionals tend to invest so much in their profession that taking a break from work seems like a terrible thing to do. Others can’t even separate their business or profession from their personal life to the extent of bringing their workload at home or, worse, everywhere they go. While there is nothing wrong with being productive and excellent in your profession, too much work can lead to more serious problems.
Just recently, professionals from the working industry coined the term “quiet quitting,” where employees who are experiencing burnout and the urge to resign opt to do the bare minimum at work instead of quitting right away in order to stay sane. This new workplace trend is all over social media, and many millennials and Gen Z professionals alike are recognizing it. Indeed, employee burnout is a serious problem.
And while the factors contributing to it are work-related, such as monotonous work routine, career stagnation, poor social life, toxic colleagues, and insufficient recognition from supervisors, there are also factors that stem from the employee’s other surroundings, such as the ambiance and look of an entire property like a house.
If an employee goes home to a house that doesn’t feel like home at all, it contributes to the stress and burnout he gets from the workplace. This is why employees are advised to take a break or go on vacation from time to time. In some cases, families and young professionals are highly encouraged to invest in a vacation home.
What is a vacation home?
First of all, a vacation home is different from your residential house. Your primary home is where you are residing. A vacation home is a property that you use for recreation. Although sometimes vacation homes can be an investment property that you can use as a home as well or a rental home so you could make it a business, have people rent it, and make some money.
Moreover, vacation homes are situated in a location that is usually far from the city. Typically, it is located somewhere near the beach, resorts, or popular attractions in a prime location. Other vacation homes could be a condo property, especially for those who want a vacation home that is in close proximity to the city. Vacation homes can also be here in the Philippines or abroad.
