I’ve done it but the glut of work when you come back isn’t worth it.
One summer I just took every Friday off and that was nice. I could have short trips away or long, lazy weekends without feeling swamped.
It helps that I hate travel.
Why so much work when you get back? Don't other people in the business handle it while you are away?
I am sure they would if they were not understaffed. But under staffing is another way to extract value from the slaves so business always do it. Think about how they staff hospitals, if they are able to do it there, they are doing it every where.
These parasites hate the working person, they want us to have low quality of life.
You'd think that. You really would. But there's so much stuff where I am apparently the only person who can do it that it just piles up.
What's wrong with letting it pile up? Can't you just put in your hours for the day then go home, pile size be damned?
Because it keeps piling up, and the pile will be even larger the next day because everyone knows I'm back from vacation
What line of work are you in that the work can't just remain piled up? Doesn't seem reasonable to worry about, but if you're a doctor or something then maybe that makes sense
If you don't let the work pile up, then management thinks that your workload is fine
