No Holiday From Email

Americans will take a break from the office over the holidays but most won’t stop checking their work emails, according to a recently released survey. The survey conducted for an email software firm, found that 59 percent of employed American adults will consult work emails over the holidays. Fifty-five percent will check work emails at least once a day and 28 percent will do so multiple times throughout the day. Forty-one percent said they were annoyed, frustrated or resentful over receiving work emails from a co-worker or a client while on vacation. Nineteen percent, on the other hand, said they were thankful or relieved at having the distraction of receiving work emails while on holiday. Forty-two percent of those who check work email while on vacation said staying up-to-date on email eases their workload when they return to the office.
