I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.

I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.

I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.

Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?

    And what happened to someone I know is: When they came back, everyone acted like as if they had a full vacation and not just worked abroad. Everyone expected them to have magically recovered from work and they were asked to not take “another vacation” because “they already had one”. On top their work from abroad was looked at way more critical, because some people assumed you can’t do your work well when the beach is waiting for you.
