This would be fun IF:
1. My boss paid for the whole thing
2. and paid for my family to go with me
3. and it didn't count toward my paid vacation days.
(In other words, no chance in hell.)
But if I'm taking off to go somewhere, you can forget it. My vacation is for me.
- masklinn 12y ago1 and 2 make no sense unless it's a long-term business trip. But if you're working and expected to work, it definitely shouldn't count towards vacation (otherwise it's a vacation and you don't do jack shit for the company)
- normloman 12y ago1 makes perfect sense. I can only afford 1 big trip a year. So of course I would spend it on a real vacation, and not some business trip. If my boss wants me to travel, my boss should pay. As for 2 - You'd have to pay me a ton of money to abandon my wife for two weeks. Paying for my wife to go with me is just cheaper for my boss. :-)
- masklinn 12y agoIf your boss sends you somewhere that's a business trip. The article is not about business trips. So no, neither 1 nor 2 make sense because they've got nothing to do with the article.

- bmj 12y agoI've typically done some variation of the following in order to take long road trips with my family: * Take two or so weeks of vacation. * Work remotely (hotel, friend's house, coffee shop) for a week or so. * Take another week or so vacation. * Alternate working remotely and some time off. Obviously, this requires a flexible manager, but considering mine often has a similar schedule, it's really not a problem.
