Workation - nice or stupid?
(imagevars.gulfnews.com)
I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.
I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.
I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.
Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?
You've got six whole weeks of paid vacation as a Dane. Why would you even consider such an insane concept? The idea of working while on vacation is so utterly perverse that I struggle to find the words to express just how much I want anyone promoting the concept to fuck off and die.
They could have 6 weeks of proper vacation then stay on in a nice place and work from there an extra few weeks. You're not sacrificing vacation time.
7½ weeks in my case One reason why the idea was somewhat appealing was that I usually spend a lot of my vacation with other people, but now and then sometime alone would be a nice change. It would be an easy way to go on an "ego trip" without sacrificing time with my friends.
