Hit ‘em with the ol’
Coming back after two weeks off:
“Did you people do nothing while I was away?”
That’s when you realize you’re being paid entry-level to hold the whole company together.
Only taking 1 week off, but expect chaos upon return.
this still happens sometimes when I simply take my regularly scheduled Friday off. thankfully, not often, as that’s now usually my manager’s problem. but it’s surprising how much shit can come up in a single business day because people can’t plan and/or are overworked
It’s almost always the communication for where I’m at. I scheduled this time off 3+ months ago, it’s been visible on our upcoming schedule for over a month, mentioned during the last 2 weekly department meetings, and so on. Will the powers that be have in any way anticipated the drop off in manpower and likely need to redistribute some active projects to the others? Not a chance…
That sucks, but I hope you have a really good vacation!
No, I will not be checking my E-mail, no I will not have my work phone on me and no, I cannot take a laptop with me on my vacation.
Just an overhead bag, a Steam deck, and no fucks.
This. I do not care about what happens at work when I go on vacation. It is never worth it to checkin, to work, or to worry.
All of these things are literally forbidden by my employer on holidays (“vacation”). Amazing to see a culture on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Then maybe the backup should have paid attention instead of playing games on their phone half the day. I’m not gonna take a week off work just so he can be paid to be a liaison and call me whenever anything happens
