Taking a secret 'hush trip' could help with burnout — but might land your company a surprise tax bill
Hannah Towey | Business Insider
Hush trips are the most recent addition to the growing lexicon at the intersection of work and travel, joining longtime favorites “bleisure,” “workation” and “digital nomad.” The space’s recent growth is in part due to WFH trips becoming more accessible as hotels and vacation rentals offer discounts and packages for longer-term stays, Pokora said.
