Cursing your scrooge of a boss because you have to work over the holidays? Well, rest assured, you are not the only one forced to focus through a holiday hangover.
According to an online survey by conferencing technology provider InterCall, even if employees get out of the office this week, most of them will be taking work with them, with 74 percent of respondents planning to work during the holidays.
Not that workers will be tied to their desk; it’s more about taking work where ever they go (ah, the blessings of technology). The survey examined where Americans will be working from during the holiday, shedding some light on our sometimes sad need to squeeze work into every "free" moment.
