in the private sector I am always on alert watching to see if I can be replaced with someone younger and cheaper. I would hate to train a backup to do all of my stuff when I am away, for fear the boss might make a change. it's also flattering when clients wanna talk to ME, and not a backup. I like vacation time, but I also like reassurance that I will have a job when I return, so i still check my email when away.
I don’t go on vacation, haven’t for years. I don’t want to lose my job in this way. HR gets upset every few years that I have years worth of vacation days piled up, I tell them to talk to my manager who tells them to let it be.
Thank you for the tips! I really need to follow the one about not checking emails while away. I did a little better earlier this month when I went to Bali for 10 days, but I should try to avoid checking it altogether. I should have something where a supervisor or project manager has to send me a text message if there is an absolute emergency.
I can't believe this only got

But at the same time... if you never train your relief... then you can never be promoted either :)
