基本介紹
- 中文名:fake-ation
- 外文名:fake-ation
- 特點:不像樣的假期
- 實質:這其實就不能算是假期
這其實就不能算是假期。你時刻與單位保持聯繫,雖然你不在辦公室,但你仍然在做那些你平時在辦公室做的那些事情。It's a fake vacation. You stay connected and though you're not in the office, you still do all the things you'd normally do if you were at your desk and in your office.
身邊有一些極度離不開工作的朋友,哪怕休假期間也要時常與公司同事聯繫,定期查閱工作郵件,遇到緊急狀況可能還要中斷休假回公司解決問題。這樣不停被工作打擾的假期其實都不能算假期了,這只能被稱為fake-ation。其他意思
