It's like if your boss ordered you to come along and work on a trip to space or hell even on a mega-yacht or something. You'd jump at that chance.

I love when people with pathetic politics assume everyone else is as housebroken and simpering as they are

Love to be trapped in a metal tube in the vacuum of space with my boss

I dunno, it'd probably be easier to fedposting your boss off a megayacht in international waters rather than in the office

"My boss wants me to go with him on his Titanic submarine holiday."

Also, in my experience, people are pretty evenly split on whether or not they want to travel for work, even if the destination is fun. A lot of people have child care commitments or would otherwise just rather stick to their schedule.

And this is for salaried professionals who would be getting their own accommodation and expenses paid. I've seen people turn down business class flights and 5 star hotels on the company dime.
