Is It a Bad Career Move to Take a Sabbatical? Ask Johnny

Question: I’m feeling burned out and I’m eligible for a sabbatical at my company, but I’m hesitant to take it. Between artificial intelligence and the brutal job market, I’m worried that if I give them a glimpse of life without me, they’ll realize they don’t need me. Is it a bad move to take the time off I feel I’ve earned, or should I stay as visible and indispensable as possible right now?
