Workation - nice or stupid? (imagevars.gulfnews.com)

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?

What if you put on top? Let’s say you get your vacation + 4 week of workation? Very useful for me to visit the family tbh

    Cool do they pay for me to travel there? Like I’ve got friends on every coast and I’d be down to work from near their homes for a week or two, but I’m not paying to travel to hang out with my friends after work.

    Also what are the odds I keep my vacation days? Like seriously. PTO replaced vacation + sick claiming you get more flexible days and now we all have the same amount of vacation but get to spend it when we’re too sick/infectious to work.
