1 in 3 remote workers go on vacation without telling boss [Video]

A new study has found that almost a third of Americans admit they’ve worked remotely while on vacation without telling their bosses that they were away from home.

The poll, commissioned by Mews, a hospitality cloud system, and conducted by OnePoll, found that 52% of those polled used their vacation travels as a chance to work remotely, and 29% didn’t tell anyone at work.

While some workers may have been checking the pool temps instead of their emails, the poll did find that 39% explained they continued to work while traveling because they like what they do.

However, 28% said they only worked on vacation because it overlapped with an important work deadline, and 26% said they simply wanted to save their PTO.

For those who travel for work, the study found that 48% said they would extend their trips when the work was done for a little mini vacation.
