Holiday travel is not work
Travel guides for "workcations" blur the lines, but a holiday is a holiday. Stop pretending your beach read is a business brief.
FO Take · Score 10
The incessant push to frame holidays as "workcations" is a capitalist ploy to extract more labour. A beach is not an boardroom, and genuine rest is not a productivity hack. If your travel "essential" is a laptop, you have failed to grasp the point of a holiday. Reclaim your time.
The strongest counter
Blended travel offers flexibility, allowing individuals to maintain connectivity while enjoying new environments. It’s an evolution, not a betrayal, of work-life balance.
