> On the plane they could have the laptop out and be working on spreadsheets. Or they could be playing Angry Birds. Would one activity count as working and the other not?
If the company put me in that plane, I can do whatever I want and it'll still count as work. I wouldn't be in that plane if it wasn't for the company. The time I'm in that plane, my little kid is not with his father and my wife needs to work extra hard to keep up with her job and then take care of the kid all by herself.
It's so simple I even wonder people would ask themselves questions like this.
- hycaria 7y agoOr you do your taxes, respond to emails, call friends/family, plan your next family trip, all that stuff that can be done remotely and that you otherwise would've done on sunny sundays and whatever and come back fully available ? Doesn't sound that simple to me.
- iagooar 7y agoIt doesn't matter! I could be doing anything, ANYTHING, and it'd still count as working hours. If the company doesn't want you to waste time traveling, you shouldn't be traveling.
