Piggleston PecanpantsI pieced together a staycation from taking Friday, Monday and Wednesday off which means I only worked five hours Friday on my own dime, my partner behind me asking "Why are you doing this?" Why? So I can have piece of mind while I'm gone. Vacation isn't really vacation anymore so much as it is agency to mold your own work hours and not have to answer the phone. It gives your employer the illusion they've done something for you when you're the one who worked to earn it.
Brendajos (She/Her/Hers)@LilPecan hmmm...I don't work at all on my vacation days with the small exception of deleting emails I won't need when I get back. I know you have a crazy employer but not all vacation is like what you are dealing with. :(
@Brendajos I'm trying to find something else but it's difficult with no time. I finally got a therapist to help but even squeezing her in, one hour a week, in the late afternoon, is a challenge. I always get many late assignments that day. It's almost as if they're trying to sabotage my efforts.
