In 2017, workers in the United States forfeited 212 million vacation days amounting to 62.2 billion dollars in lost benefits. Take your vacation. Take your breaks. Take care of your family, relationships, health. Life is too short.

I think it's a mixture of social guilt, wanting to be seen as a hard worker, and a culture that values 'doing' over 'being.' It's tied to our self-worth, which is troublesome, because that is often taken advantage of for profit instead of rewarded and regulated by the companies.
I for one always enjoyed being the "slacker" at work for taking every last one of my vacation days

Sure, unhappiness might be part of it. But even at a job you love, taking your sick days , breaks, and vacations are just as important! It has little to do with how you feel about the job. It's not about taking a break from it in particular. It's about living life with balance.
