Definition
长假 (cháng jià) is a noun meaning 'long leave' or 'long vacation' — typically used for official multi-day holidays like National Day or Spring Festival. In workplace slang, 请长假 ('ask for long leave') is a euphemism for resigning; in that context 长假 alone can imply quitting a job, though the formal word for resign is 辞职.
