We're Still Overworked -- Even On Vacation
from the and-underpaid? dept
There have been a lot of these studies lately, but the most recent says that, indeed, we're all still overworked -- thanks in good part to the ability of technology to keep us connected all the time. While most such studies focus on people doing additional work after hours or on weekends, this one finds that many people do work while on vacation or are not taking advantage of much of their vacation time. Yet, we still have employers insisting that employees playing solitaire is a big problem. Employers need to realize that if they're setting the message that work can follow you home and on vacation, that personal time and activities should be allowed at work as well.

Total wrong attitude
Too many people believe that they are in control when they can be reached via multiple avenues (Blackberry, IM, phone, email) at any time of the day. These poor souls have yet to discover the true wisdom that *others* are in control of their lives at this point.
Those of us that have figured out the game know how to be connected when needed, but how to let others manage (through delegation). It requires a person whose entire existence is not centered around his/her job and the status that it brings. Unfortunately, there are still too many of these people.

Re: Total wrong attitude
I most def have to agree with you with one minor change.
I still take the laptop & cellphone along in case I need to make a call or look something up on the net, BUT its for MY use.
I keep the phone & laptop turned off & only power them up " if " needed for MY use, not my employers.
I make it a point NOT to check email or voicemail either when I turn them on.
