in a bit of a quandary: Should I let a business trip interrupt my vacation? There's a workshop in Granada, Spain being hosted by my boss, but to get there I have to shorten my vacation and eat the cost of my original return flight ($323). The flights to Spain would be business class, which is sweet, but ffs it would be a total of 8 connecting flights. Combined with my vacation, that's 11 connecting flights in 2 weeks.
I don't HAVE to go, but I feel like I should for my career.
shameless self bump. I should mention that the reason there is an overlap is that my boss chose not to invite me originally and only did it at the last minute. Makes me wonder if he actually wants me there, but based on the goals I have for the year, I should go.
Don't go. Don't put more effort than needed if you feel the payout isn't worth it. Arbitrary ideas of what should be best for your career are meaningless at the end of the day. You have a vacation you saved up for right? Don't you dare throw it away to go waste your time on something that your boss was forced to take you in.
Don't go! It won't be worth it for your career. Standing up for your wants and needs gets noticed far more often than just following the crowd. Letting your boss know that u have balls and a life will get u where u want to go

Thats a fuckton of stress m8. 11 connecting flights in 2 weeks is no joke. Do that shit for your career if you want man. But your hair will be grey by the time that ordeal is over.

>11 flights
>2 weeks
That is seriously not much at all. And the assumption is that nearly all of these are short ones.

That's almost a flight everyday for 2 weeks. Even if they are short ones you still have to go through security and shit 11 times. That's not fun.
