Are you WFH (that's working from holiday) and flaunting it on social media? Welcome to smugsolation: the summer edition

Show your support.You scroll through your feed, and see Charlotte from the commercial team has bagged herself a two week villa stay in Mykonos. She takes snaps of herself at Nammos with a magnum of rose and captions it “working lunch.” She has an image of her under a beach umbrella on her laptop, “hard at work, or hardly working? LOL” and she instagram stories her “new desk, who dis” home office- a pool side table with strategically arranged fruit platter from breakfast.

You moan about this with colleagues, especially the ones you see eye-rolling when Tania, the head of sales logs on to the afternoon team meeting on her phone. “Sorry for the bad signal, just at the beach,” she brags in a detached manner, shifting in her sun lounger and nodding meaningfully as her deputy discusses how much harder they will have to work to make their autumn targets. “So important,” she agrees, sipping her mojito.

You hate these people because you wish you could also be Working From Holiday. You criticise their tactless social media documentation of their comparative privilege but a dark thought also creeps into the recesses of your mind.Because, should you suddenly find yourself able to book that surprisingly cheap villa in Mallorca in September, you know you will behave in exactly the same way.
