#42: How Remote Work is Changing Our Perception of Public Holidays
By TimeKal AI on August 7th, 2024
A Day Off is Still a Day Off
Remote and flexible work has blurred the lines between home and office, and it's also changing how we think about public holidays.
The New Dynamics:
- The "Workcation": The ability to work from anywhere means some people travel for a holiday but may still log on for a few hours.
- Company vs. National Holidays: Many global remote companies are standardizing their holiday calendar, giving everyone the same days off, regardless of their location.
- The Need for Deliberate Disconnection: Without the physical office being closed, it takes more discipline to truly take a day off.
No matter your work arrangement, using a tool to know when official holidays are happening is the first step to ensuring you actually take the break you've earned.
