I just ran across a link to the Expedia.com – 2009 International Vacation Deprivation™ Survey Results in this morning’s Pink Magazine ‘Mini Getaways” Newsletter.
Some of the horrifying highlights (Source: Expedia):
About one-third of employed U.S. adults (34%) usually do not take all of the vacation days they receive each year
24 percent – of employed adults check work email or voicemail while vacationing.
Men are more likely than women to take a 2-week vacation (12% men vs. 8% women). However, women are more likely than men to feel guilty about taking time off from work (40% women vs. 29% men).
And guess what?? I am GUILTY AS CHARGED! I am planning to take next week off for spring break while my children are out of school. It’s only 5 days and I hope to role model a actually taking time off and skipping the guilt.
Stay posted and I’ll let you know if I come up with any musings on guilt reduction methods.
Wish me luck.
Feeling dubious, Maven.
