Holiday horrors
James Hoyle at Fishburn Hedges sent us some research on the burning question: where do IT managers go on holiday?
Thirty-four per cent of IT professionals chose western Europe this year, 24 per cent stayed in the UK, and 18 per cent went to the US and Canada. Beach holidays are the norm for 36 per cent, 24 per cent go for activity holidays, and 20 per cent like city breaks.
More telling, however, is that almost half of IT managers surveyed (46 per cent) have been contacted by their company while on holiday. A quarter has actually ended up working when away, while 22 per cent confessed to checking for messages.
The moral of this tale: either don’t go on holiday, or: DON’T CHECK FOR MESSAGES. YOU’RE ON HOLIDAY.
