MORE than half of United States workers would prefer a root canal than to work during vacation, but they cave in to bosses' demands by using mobile technology on their down time, a new Harris poll showed.
Mobile devices let people stay connected with work 24/7, which is both "revolutionary and a curse," said Terrie Campbell, vice president, strategic marketing at global technology company Ricoh Americas Corp, which commissioned the poll.
Nearly three out of four Americans admitted they would be angry if they lost their smartphone on vacation because they wouldn't be able to check in at work, the online survey of 2,071 US adults showed.
"At some point, employees need permission to turn off the work email, relax and recharge while they're on vacation," Campbell said.
