None of my stuff gets done when I’m gone, so a day off just makes things worse when I return to the office, so I end up spending my day off answering emails and taking phone calls.
A day off is basically just remote work that burns vacation time.
In my case it really is true. I work for a very small city with less than a dozen employees, and we all wear a lot of hats. I process permits, coordinate development projects, am the GIS department, and have been known to flag traffic when there’s a road collapse.
The State keeps passing new laws to prevent cities from getting more income, so we can’t hire more people.
I don’t disagree. We’ll spend $60,000 on engineering reviews making sure a billionaire’s new house won’t flood the street, then another $200,000 in court to tell him he can’t build what he wants, then another $200,000 forcing him to tear out down after he built it anyway, and all we can charge him is 10 grand because of politicians.
But I’ll know, and if I don’t get anything done I’ll be upset with myself. How do I take a day of without me knowing?
I feel this.
