In the new age of the 21st century the work place has evolved in such a dramatic way that our new pioneers of the dedicated employee are having repercussion from it. We are completely consumed with the idea that that we have to sell our souls to be productive in the work place. The article Please Don't Make Me Go on Vacation found that "American workers have on average 16.6 paid vacation days but that more than one-third of employees (36 percent) did not plan to use their full vacation." Americans have the opportunity to take more vacation days but they consciously  choose not to. This can and will lead to accumulation of stress, lack of sleep, and overall depletion of energy. America needs to slow down before a major burnout of the workforce happens.
