Depends on the person really. Some allow it, some need the attention, and some, like me, flat out ignore work while on vacation.

margaretolson
Absolutely not. My work is not my entire life. I earn my vacation time and have zero obligation to my job while on holiday
LuluKazoo
Except you're not getting paid for that shit. You save up vacation days so you can have time off, you shouldn't have to work during them

I don't follow it as much as I should, but knowing I am allowed to really helps my stress levels.
Kayayayaya
If it was just a question it seems a little harsh, since they obviously were paying enough attention to get it.
CyderMayker
If they answered one question, they'd probably get another. The point of vacation is to /not/ have to worry about work.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
One isolated question like "Where did you leave the X?" is fine, only things that involve choices like "can you work on X day" are not.
Kayayayaya
When I go on vacation I disable my work stuff if I'm specifically not on call for things.
benovere
There's a stark difference between "how do I reset passwords" and "OMG THE SERVER ROOM IS ON FIRE". Phone is on for the latter, not former.
CyderMayker
One person in any work place should be the /only/ one capable of handling emergencies. Companies like that are company-ing wrong. 2/2

WTF would someone /not physically there/ be able to do about an emergency like that?? I understand what you're trying to get at, but no 1/2

Thankfully we have a policy that if we are called away from lunch even for a minute, we get paid for the whole thing. In healthcare, though.

You should really pay for your lunch. It's rude to dine and dash.

I feel this, I have what is called an "On Duty Lunch" which is literally just work, but it's called lunch.

toddthewee
Oh, you can' take them all in the same week! What the hell is the matter with you?
human8060
Depends where you work. My company starts you off with 3 weeks vacation, a week of sick time and 2 personal days.
fandsor
As a contract worker, I get 2 paid floating days. That is it.
CaptainsLincolnLog
I think the point is that we're not required to get any at all by law.
ImHereToGetDownvotes
Exactly. Other countries are around 20 days by law. US average is 10 by generosity.
Fishystick
My work gives us 0 vacation hours and only 3 days of sick leave. If we use the sick leave, we can't come back unless its with a doc's note.
Milchsteak
Why is sick leave restriced to three days? What happens if you are sick for longer than 3 days? Aren't you becoming insane without vacation?
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
Sadly I have worked places that work 7 days a week with that sick time and a week of vacay a year that has to be put in a month in advance
EllieTheBadass
Well depending on the illness you could get longer, but let's say 3 days common cold etc. You need a doctors note.
GandalfTheHay
3 whole weeks? Damn dude, I have to have 5 year's tenure to get that level with the 7 other days you listed.
human8060
I believe at 5 years, we have 4 weeks vacation. It's not common, but it is out there. I am very lucky.
eetsumkaus
same at my company. The catch? you almost never get a good time to take it off, and almost everyone ends up working a bit on vacation
TheGame21x
Are you guys hiring? At my company, we start with nothing and accumulate hours at a rate of 4.5 hours per pay period. And that counts for

Fuck that. The military gives me 30 days of paid leave per year, all federal holidays (mission permitting) and no limit on sick days.

I get 1.54 per pay period (2 weeks).
TheGame21x
Yikes, and I thought I had it bad. I guess it helps to get some perspective though.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
I love my job and have an awesome boss. It's just a small business with no way to offer more PTO. So there are things that make up for it.
TheGame21x
Vacation, sick time and personal time.
strawberrycocoa
Are you working for a small mom-and-pop place? I am, and they have similarly tiny vacation/sick/pto policies.
TheGame21x
Nope. I work for a health insurance company.
TheGame21x
Actually, no, I take that back, I believe I started with 20 hours after the mandatory probational period. It's been a few years.
ImAFoxButNotReally
depending where you work? isn't there a national law for vacations? Every employer decides how many days you can take off?
fandsor
Not in America. Paid vacation is solely left up to the employer.
human8060
Not in the US. I had a boss that didn't offer health insurance, paid holidays, sick time, overtime pay or any other benefit.
ImAFoxButNotReally
In Argentina there's a minimum paid vacation guaranteed according to the years you have in your job. 1-5: 2w, 5-10: 3w, +10: 4w. 1/2
ImAFoxButNotReally
it's far from ideal because I know many other countries that have more vacations. 2/2
