“People now have to respond to customers 247 or you’re not being 16,” explains Barry Lawrence of the Reston, Va. based Career Builder, which queried more than 3 200 respondents in May for the survey. “That means that people at work are on demand 247 and the 17 and problems tend to follow them when they leave the office.”Another reason is what could be called the big 18 factor. If the boss is constantly logging in while on a holiday it signals everyone else that they should do the same from their vacation.

How can employees relax without feeling guilty? The best advice is to play ahead. Finish up projects before you leave. That way 19 are not hanging over you.

If you can’t 20 yourself away completely, establish a method and a time to check in before you go. Then firmly stick to that schedule. “Be clear with customers and

your company that you can be reached by e mail between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.. The rest of the time you’ll be on the beach.”
