Anyone ever just rent a airbnb somewhere new for a week and work from the Airbnb but treat it like a trip? Seems like a decent idea for getting some change of scenery and maybe even a mini trip without using PTO? Any tips for doing this right?

Yeah did it for a week in Rehoboth beach with a buddy. We did our conference calls and such until 2 or 3 and then hit the beach and biked. Also, did it in Park City. The time change made it easy to disapppear and ski after 12 or 1 local time.

My employees do this. We don't care where you work as long as you're connected, available, and get your work done. We are all treated like adults until given a reason to believe otherwise.

I’ve done this. If you typically work >40 hours and plan on only working your core 40 hours it’s helpful to give your team a heads up. Then you can hit the beach guilt free at 5pm.

Yep, my wife and I have both worked during “vacations”. I’d recommend a portable monitor and make sure to bring a keyboard, mouse, and any other nice to have office comfort items you typically use. (I broke my right wrist as a kid, so the ergonomic mouse pad is key now that I’m an old man!)

I’ve done that for 4-6 weeks at a time. Do it around holidays so you get built-in time off. And take into account the time difference if that’s something that’ll impact you

Well, I was abroad so yeah pretty standard to let my manager know. and I was able to change my schedule a bit, while still being available US hours should a client need me.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?
