More than half of American employees travel for work at least once a year, amounting to about 462 million domestic business trips alone in 2017. And when they're are out of the office, they let loose in a big way, according to a new report from employment website Simply Hired.
And it's not just drinking: Almost 23 percent of employees said they smoked marijuana, while about one in 10 said they dabbled in harder, illicit substances. Another 20 percent admitted to using some of their time away visiting a strip club or meeting up with someone from a dating app or website. The more senior or high-paid an employee is, the more likely they were to engage in naughty behavior while on a work trip.
This could be explained by the fact that managers are on the road more often, which gives them more opportunity to engage in unprofessional acts. On average, the data showed that company leadership spends 10.4 percent of their working year traveling, while employees spend only 8.5 percent of their year on business trips.
