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?
This is an area where forgiveness is much better then permission. Just do it, and if there are detectable issues, work it out after the fact.
If you EVER go to HR with a "interesting" problem, the answer is NO, and not only is it NO, but now you know you can't do it, and can't try it anyway.
