In reply to Martine Vecht. Yep - it's still going and people are definitely going offline!

I’m curious: how did this work out for your company two years after date? Is this incentive still in place and did people actually go offline?

well intended, but sounds quite paternalist to me…

Making the company and employees connect at a “family” level is an amazing experiment. Keep sharing new ideas so the rest of us that don’t work for you can at least dream a little. Most of us have gone from valued employee to a resource …. Which needs to change!

This is awesome. I work in the traditional Corporation where you struggle just to get a couple days off….

Until you’re old and senile, memories of places you’ve already forgotten aren’t worth as much as the comfort zone created by ownership. If it’s a car, boat or plane you own, you can use it to “go” on vacation. If you pay to go on somebody else’s thing, like a cruise line, it is only a memory and you have nothing material of value to replace the money spent. Going on vacation is safe for me because I don’t have a cell phone or other encumbrance!
