    I’m sorry but you’re enabling this behavior. When I take an official holiday, I’m unavailable for work, simple as that. Work is a part of my life, not the definition of my life.

      I agree. I guess what I didn’t say is that I do a bunch of work on the clock in order to ensure 99% of my responsibilities are covered. And then even the other 0.9% my coworkers can just deflect or work around.

      But if a situation arises that actually hurts people imo that is no longer a work issue but a humanity issue, and if my fellows can’t handle it then I do want to be made aware.

      If this a regular occurrence then there needs to be some way to block or mitigate the damage, so that people can go on vacation and not worry they’re coming back to a mess.

        In this case, this is a thing that can be postponed

        I can agree if they called them because “OH NO ALL OUR PEOPLE ARE DYING WHAT DO WE DOO” but it’s not

          I guess I’m not European so I don’t know that much about this process. It sounded serious, but if it can be postponed then yeah postpone.
