Half of U.S. Employees Have Trouble Unplugging While on PTO

While most professionals cannot or do not believe they can fully unplug from work, workers ages 45 and older hadthe most difficulty unplugging while on vacation, according to Glassdoor. One reason may be older workers are more likely to be further along in their careers in roles requiring more responsibility and managerial oversight—and so are less likely to have a colleague available to cover for them during their absence. There was little difference between male and female employees' inability to disconnect.
