For many stressed workers, 'it's starting to catch up'

Some CEOs tell employees to take a break, recharge

People need a vacation. They always have. But especially when the office is closed, and work is what happens when you're near your phone, which is to say every waking hour, employees need to recharge. Some are quietly asking permission to rest. Others know that their break is overdue, and now they're getting nudges from the boss: log off.
